Even in death camps in gas houses and shadows of crematories, the Jews resisted their oppressors. On the eve of the liquidation of the center of murder, the most daring and bold action is at the end.

By the summer of 1943, transportation to Sobibor's Death Camp was slowing down. An experienced Jewish prisoner feels that the end will come soon. In July, prisoners organized underground troops. It is led by Rabbi's son Leon Feldhendler in the town near Zolkiewka.

In September 1943, a Soviet Jewish prisoner who was expelled from Minsk took Aronzabad Alexander Sabon Lieutenant Alonovic Pecherski to the camp. The Jewish basement recruited Pechersky and ordered him. His deputy is Leon Feldhendler

They made a bold plan. SS officials will enter the warehouse with the pretext of getting new coats and boots. Once entered - Thomas (Tuvia) Thanks to the bold efforts of Blatter, they will be attacked by the prisoner and will be killed with an ax and a knife. The Nazi 's weapons will be detained and the camp will fire if the name is named. Every prisoner has the opportunity to be free. Upon arriving at the gate of Sobibór, they will all depend on themselves

At dusk, more than half of the prisoners (about 300 people) fled. Most people are killed or dead by their Nazi pursuits while crossing minefields. After the uprising, some people joined the party's units; others have found evacuation centers in a considerate pole. It is estimated that only 50 fugitives endured the war.

After the uprising, the Germans destroyed all the traces of Sobibor. Death camps were cultivated by the end of 1943 and crops were planted to cover this area and at least 167,000 people were killed between March 1942 and October 1943. In fact, all the victims are Jewish.

If there is a museum dedicated to the Holocaust, how can someone say if it does not exist? The American Holocaust Memorial Museum discovered in Washington, DC is a living monument of the Holocaust. The exhibit has four theaters with over 900 artifacts, 70 video monitors, and historic film images. Some of the videos displayed at the museum include Jewish executions in experiments and concentration camps. These videos are graphical and hard to see.
