The strong are not compassionate, the weak are not brave

One of the most thrilling WWII prison break movies. Sobibor extermination camp in eastern Poland, one of the three major concentration camps where Nazi Aktion Reinhard massacred Jews during World War II.

The Nazi method of racial massacres was: Jews from all over Europe were delivered by railway in batches, and then they were selected, leaving a very small number of people with strength and craftsmanship to work, and the rest were taken for their ornaments and then showered in the name of bathing. The gas collectively killed and burned the bodies. Unable to bear the brutality of the German Nazis, the Jews fled with all their strength; thanks to the careful organization and planning of the Soviet prisoners of war Jews, 600 people escaped from prison, and 300 people succeeded; it is also the only miracle that the Jews successfully escaped from prison collectively.

The 1987 movie, with a fierce plot, fierce eyes, and thrilling, does not drag on the water at all. The whole process is fearful and tense, as if you are on the scene.

Nazi management of Sobibor: more than 30 Nazi officers, more than 100 Ukrainian mercenaries, and several Jewish supervisors;

Organizing the escape plan: kill officers, seize weapons, cut ties, and escape collectively;

Participants: Soviet Jewish soldiers (commissars), Polish parliamentary officials Jewish (leaders), craftsmen (responsible for seduction) + powerful people (members);

Differences between people: German "greed for money" and "punctuality"; untrustworthy Berlin Jews; superior conditions of Dutch Jews; craftsmanship of Polish Jews; strength of Soviet Jews.

The elderly and children were sent directly to the gas to be killed; the Nazi officers who brutalized and killed without blinking an eye; the father who failed to escape and had to choose his son to be buried; Air-conditioning, nothing else.

The movie may tell you: to live or to destroy? Only to live to death.

However, a real fact is: At that time, Sobibor detained a total of 600 people - those who did not want to escape = 300 who escaped from prison successfully - those who died in World War II after that = 58 people who survived 600 people, only 58 people survived World War II.

However, what is more true is that 6 million Jews were slaughtered in World War II.

However, what is more true is that 90 million people died in World War II.

So, in "The Gulag, A History" it says, "In Germany you may die of cruelty; in Russia you may die of despair. In Auschwitz you may die in a gas chamber; Rema, you could freeze to death in the snow. You could die in a German forest or a Siberian wasteland, you could die in a mine accident, you could die on a cattle train."

If the strong are not compassionate and the weak are not brave, will the world have a solution?
