When Jewish people first arrived at the train station in the Sobibor Concentration Camp, they were met with fiddle players, warm welcomings, and friendly reassurances they would live and work in dignity. But the reality of what was waiting for them was an entirely different story. Violence, cruelty, and a terrifying lack of humanity would cause unimaginable suffering and loss. Those who survived would endure some of the worst treatment. Based on real events, SOBIBOR portrays the horrific atrocities that took place within one of the largest extermination camps in Poland, as well as the infamous uprising that followed, in which 600 prisoners made a massive escape attempt, killing 11 SS officers in the process. The revolt was led by Soviet officer Alexander Pechersky, who was being held in Sobibor as a prisoner of war. Although any acts of defiance were met with severe and often lethal punishments, enough resilience and hope remained to carry out an impossible plan.
