Escape from Sobibor

Its name isn't quite as widely known as Treblinka, Auschwitz and Dachau, but Sobibor was another of the notorious Nazi concentration camps. This 1987 feature film, starring Alan Arkin, tells the story of the biggest and most successful prisoner revolt that ever took place -- over 300 escaped on an October day in 1943. Some may find it a tad graphic, but that's a reflection of the reality. In the final analysis, it's a gritty but inspiring film -- and a story that should be told.
