The World Will Tremble plot
On the afternoon of January 19, 1942, in the first ever Nazi death camp secretly built in Poland, a group of Polish Jewish prisoners attempt the unthinkable. Held as gravediggers, they are forced to bury the bodies of men, women, and children murdered in gas vans. Even after losing their families and burying them with their own hands, they are determined to escape, not for themselves, but to warn the world of what is happening. Using a stolen shard of glass, prisoners Solomon Wiener and Michael Podchlebnik tear through a transport truck and flee into the woods.
