About the Film
This groundbreaking new documentary reveals the astonishing true story of the only known group of boys to walk out of an Auschwitz gas chamber alive. In October 1944 (Simchat Torah) 800 Jewish boys aged thirteen to seventeen were marched into Crematorium 5, stripped naked and locked inside as Zyklon B was inserted. 51 survived. Now, six share their extraordinary, unique and never told before personal testimony, coupled with corroborative forensic evidence, rare Nazi archives and CGI reconstruction. Inspired by the internationally bestselling book, Miracle, the film is produced by JRoots, a leading Holocaust education organization preserving survivor testimony and sharing Jewish history through award-winning documentaries and immersive storytelling.
