After Nazi Germany invaded Poland in 1939, Jewish teenager Yehuda Lerner was imprisoned in the Warsaw Ghetto before being deported through a series of Nazi camps during the Holocaust. Separated from his family, who were murdered in Treblinka, Lerner endured starvation, forced labor, disease, and brutal violence — yet managed to escape eight Nazi camps in only six months.

In 1943, he was deported to the Sobibor extermination camp, where prisoners secretly prepared an uprising after learning that almost everyone sent there was being murdered in the gas chambers. On 14 October 1943, Lerner joined the Sobibor revolt, helping kill SS personnel during one of the most important acts of resistance inside a Nazi death camp.

The story follows the Warsaw Ghetto, the Sobibor uprising, and Yehuda Lerner’s extraordinary fight for survival during World War II.
