Rudolf Vrba, a Slovakian Jewish teenager who changed his name from Walter Rosenberg, escaped from Auschwitz in 1944, becoming one of the few to do so.

In this episode of "The Escape Artist," Jonathan Freedland discusses his new book about Rudolf Vrba, one of four Jews to escape Auschwitz, whose report on the atrocities there helped halt deportations of Hungarian Jews and save thousands of lives.
