Summary

The Twentieth Train : The True Story of the Ambush of the Death Train to Auschwitz


Schreiber's gripping book about the only Nazi death train in World War II to be ambushed draws on private documents, photographs, archive material, and police reports, including interviews with the surviving escapees. Like "Schindler's List, The Twentieth Train" creates a vivid, moving portrait of heroism under impossible circumstances.
