Samuel Willenberg arrived in Treblinka in the year 1942. After he got off the train, he told SS officials that he was a strong worker and was spared the gas chamber. A year later, in 1943, he escaped Treblinka along with 300 other inmates. He and others were hunted down by SS officials, who recaptured 200 of the escapees. During the manhunt, Willenberg was shot in the leg by a soldier but still managed to make it back to Warsaw to find his father who was hiding outside a ghetto. Willenberg became part of the underground resistance and helped fight the Warsaw Uprising.
