He became known for having escaped from the camp in April 1944, at the height of the Holocaust, and for having co-written a detailed report about the mass murder that was taking place there. Distribution of the report by George Mantello in Switzerland is credited with having halted the mass deportation of Hungary's Jews to Auschwitz in July 1944, saving more than 200,000 lives. After the war Vrba trained as a biochemist, working mostly in England and Canada (I escaped from Auschwitz 1).]]> 2018-12-07 20:40:46 UTC https://padlet.com/harrism25/dck0qio3w8fo/wish/312415519 harrism25 https://padlet.com/harrism25/dck0qio3w8fo/wish/312417216 2018-12-07 20:45:08 UTC https://padlet.com/harrism25/dck0qio3w8fo/wish/312417216 harrism25 https://padlet.com/harrism25/dck0qio3w8fo/wish/312417339 2018-12-07 20:45:39 UTC https://padlet.com/harrism25/dck0qio3w8fo/wish/312417339 harrism25 https://padlet.com/harrism25/dck0qio3w8fo/wish/312417421 2018-12-07 20:45:59 UTC https://padlet.com/harrism25/dck0qio3w8fo/wish/312417421 harrism25 https://padlet.com/harrism25/dck0qio3w8fo/wish/312579734 Rudolf Vrba escaped from Auschwitz in 1944 and was one of the first people to give first-hand evidence of the gas chambers, mass murder and plans to exterminate a million Jews.

They made contact with Slovak resistance forces and produced a substantive report on the extermination camp at Auschwitz-Birkenau. In great detail, they documented the killing process. Their report, replete with maps and other specific details, was forwarded to Western intelligence officials along with an urgent request to bomb the camps. Part of the report, forwarded to the U.S. government’s War Refugee Board by Roswell McClelland, the board’s representative in Switzerland, arrived in Washington on July 8 and July 16, 1944. While the complete report, together with maps, did not arrive in the United States until October, U.S. officials could have received the complete report earlier if they had taken a more urgent interest in it (Ritchie 1).]]> 2018-12-09 03:27:18 UTC https://padlet.com/harrism25/dck0qio3w8fo/wish/312580190 harrism25 https://padlet.com/harrism25/dck0qio3w8fo/wish/312580262 Listen to this sick rap ]]> 2018-12-09 03:28:22 UTC https://padlet.com/harrism25/dck0qio3w8fo/wish/312580262 harrism25 https://padlet.com/harrism25/dck0qio3w8fo/wish/313165464 2018-12-10 20:37:36 UTC https://padlet.com/harrism25/dck0qio3w8fo/wish/313165464 harrism25 https://padlet.com/harrism25/dck0qio3w8fo/wish/313171464 Rudolf Vrba and Alfred Wetzler, who escaped with him in April 1944, drew up a detailed plan of Auschwtiz and its gas chambers, providing compelling evidence of what had previously been considered embellishment. It has since emerged that reports from inside Auschwitz, compiled by the Polish Underground State and the Polish Government in Exile and written by Jan Karski and Witold Pilecki among others, had in fact reached some Western allies before 1944, but action had not been taken. Vrba and Wetzler's detailed, first-hand report about how Nazis were systematically killing Jews was compiled into the Wetzler-Vrba report and sent shockwaves around the world when it was circulated and picked up by international media in 1944 (Ritchie 1).]]> 2018-12-10 20:54:12 UTC https://padlet.com/harrism25/dck0qio3w8fo/wish/313171464 harrism25 https://padlet.com/harrism25/dck0qio3w8fo/wish/313171716 2018-12-10 20:54:59 UTC https://padlet.com/harrism25/dck0qio3w8fo/wish/313171716 harrism25 https://padlet.com/harrism25/dck0qio3w8fo/wish/313174363 Rudolf Vrba was the first sent to the Nováky Transition camp in Slovakia.
