Trailer For The Upcoming WWII Thriller THE AUSCHWITZ ESCAPE
Signature Entertainment has released a trailer for an upcoming World War II thriller The Auschwitz Escape. It tells the harrowing true story of two young Slovak Jews who actually escaped the hellish concentration camp, Auschwitz. This is a story that I actually wasn’t familiar with until I saw this trailer and I’m looking forward to learning more about it.
The story follows two Auschwitz prisoners, Freddy and Walter (played by Noel Czuczor and Peter Ondrejicka), “who escaped hell and provided a rare first-hand and shocking report of genocide at the camp. After meticulous planning and with the help and resilience of their fellow prisoners, they manage to escape. While the inmates they had left behind courageously stand their ground against the Nazi camp officers, the two men are driven to survive by the hope that their evidence could save lives. Emaciated and hurt, they make their way through the rugged mountains back to Slovakia ready to share their horrific report to the United States Red Cross. Gripping and harrowing at every turn, The Auschwitz Escape honours the power of truth in a world that might not be ready to hear it.”
It’s important that these stories get told and this looks like it’s a well-made film. It was directed by Peter Bebjak (Zlo, Apricot Island, The Cleaner, The Line, and Crack) and it also stars John Hannah, Wojciech Mecwaldowski, Jacek Beler, Michal Rezný, Kamil Nozynski, Aleksander Mincer, and Christoph Bach.
The Auschwitz Escape will be released on Digital Platforms May 14th and DVD May 24th.
