    Ep. 20: The Man Who Infiltrated Auschwitz

    Elizabeth shares the riveting story of Witold Pilecki, who had the desire to protect Polish sovereignty. Pilecki's work had been hidden from the world until recently, when records about his mission were finally made public in the early 2000s. Pilecki was the man who infiltrated Auschwitz, formed a secret underground resistance within its walls, and escaped the camp. His story is one of brutality, humility, and the capacity of humanity for both good and evil.
