Traitor?
The hero who smuggled himself INTO Auschwitz: Polish resistance fighter risked death to tell world about SS slaughterhouse...only to be executed as a 'traitor' by the Russians after the war
Witold Pilecki's story is one of courage and heroism almost beyond imagination. It is that of a man who of his own free will undertook a mission to expose from within the horrors of a place that has come to define human evil - and whose desperate pleas went unheard.
