"The story of the Nazi death camp of Sobibor, which was the setting of a mass Jewish escape, aided by Russian soldiers. Their plan was to murder each individual SS members, thus turning themselves in the same kind of persons their prosecutors had been; it is this interesting premise and the concept of struggle of conscience that is the most interesting aspect of this TV movie, from a time when television production sought to seem shocking by dealing bluntly with dark moments in history."

Drama, UK/Yugoslavia
