Escape from Sobibor

Saturday, June 10, 2006

So for the past week my AP Euro class are watching movies since we finished our class final. Some of the movies we watched were outright boring until our teacher showed us Escape from Sobibor. Based on a true story, it dramatizies the Jewish and other prisoners escape from the Nazi Death Camp Sobibor. Staring the rugged Rutger Hauer, they attempt to kill all of the SS and Ukranian guards while escaping. However they were only able to kill 11 before being found out. Around 300 of the 600 prisoners escaped, the rest were either killed in the mine fields, capture and executed, or shot on their way out. This movie was actually better than some of the recent ones that depict life in a Nazi Death Camp. However, when we finished the movie we went back to boring ones like a documentary about influenza.

I escaped from Sober-dorm like so 10 years ago. I drink like a thirsty man now.
