Tracking the 101st Cavalry
The 101st Cavalry was a New York National Guard unit that spent the final months of World War II doing reconnaissance for the U.S. 7th Army. They crossed the Saar River in March, and were closing in on Innsbruck, Austria, when the war ended. Attached at various times to, among others, the 4th Infantry Division, the 63rd Infantry Division, the 12th Armored Division, and the 101st Airborne, the 101st Cavalry found a series of concentration camps in the woods near Landsberg and liberated Oflag VIIA, a prisoner of war camp for Polish officers near Murnau. When Melaney Welch Moisan set out in 2004 to find out what her father had done in World War II, she discovered that many other men in the 101st had stories of their own to tell. This book is the story of her journey to connect with her father's past. It is also the story the men who served in the 101st Cavalry, and others whose lives they touched during those few months of the war. More than 100 photos and 17 maps.

A Rebel in Auschwitz: The True Story of the Resistance Hero who Fought the Nazis from Inside the Camp (Scholastic Focus)
With exclusive access to previously hidden diaries, family and camp survivor accounts, and recently declassified files, critically acclaimed and award-winning journalist Jack Fairweather brilliantly portrays the remarkable man who volunteered to face the unknown in the name of truth and country. This extraordinary and eye-opening account of the Holocaust invites us all to bear witness. Occupied Warsaw, Summer 1940: Witold Pilecki, a Polish underground operative, accepted a mission to uncover the fate of thousands interned at a new concentration camp, report on Nazi crimes, raise a secret army, and stage an uprising. The name of the camp -- Auschwitz. Over the next two and half years, and under the cruelest of conditions, Pilecki's underground sabotaged facilities, assassinated Nazi officers, and gathered evidence of terrifying abuse and mass murder. But as he pieced together the horrifying Nazi plans to exterminate Europe's Jews, Pilecki realized he would have to risk his men, his life, and his family to warn the West before all was lost. To do so meant attempting the impossible -- but first he would have to escape from Auschwitz itself...
Dobrovolník
Rok: 1940. Cíl mise: Infiltrovat koncentrační tábor Osvětim. Ač to zní neuvěřitelně, toto je skutečný příběh Witolda Pileckého, polozapomenutého hrdiny druhé světové války, který se nechal dobrovolně uvěznit v táboře smrti. Více než dva roky shromažďoval informace o nacistických zločinech, aby nakonec uprchl a zúčastnil se Varšavského povstání. Jeho životní osudy jsou strhující oslavou lidské odvahy a odhodlání bojovat i v těch nejtemnějších časech.
O Voluntário de Auschwitz
Em setembro de 1940, Witold Pilecki, um combatente da Resistência polonesa, se ofereceu para uma missão audaciosa: assumir uma identidade falsa, ser intencionalmente capturado e enviado a um campo de concentração e executar um ataque lá de dentro. Nos dois anos seguintes, Pilecki forjou um exército clandestino dentro de Auschwitz, que sabotou instalações, assassinou informantes e oficiais nazistas e reuniu evidências de abusos terríveis e assassinatos em massa. Apesar da tarefa árdua e necessária, ele foi completamente apagado do registro histórico pelo governo comunista polonês do pós-guerra, permanecendo quase desconhecido para o mundo. Agora, Jack Fairweather, que teve acesso exclusivo a diários escondidos, depoimentos de familiares e arquivos recentemente liberados, oferece um retrato inflexível de sobrevivência, vingança e traição em um dos momentos mais sombrios da história da humanidade.
Frivillig i Auschwitz : en sann historia
Den polske motståndsmannen Witold Pilecki infiltrerade Auschwitz för att berätta för världen om vad som skedde innanför lägrets murar. Men han kunde inte ana de fasor som mötte honom. Vad får en man att frivilligt låta sig deporteras till nazisternas mest ökända förintelseläger? Frivillig i Auschwitz är den osannolika berättelsen om en av andra världskrigets okända hjältar. En man som mot alla odds lyckades skapa en underjordisk armé inne i lägret, och smuggla ut information om nazisternas illgärningar till de allierade. Tyvärr lyssnade inte omvärlden förrän det var försent. Journalisten och krigskorrespondenten Jack Fairweather har skrivit en grundlig, skakande och ohyggligt spännande berättelse om mänskligt mod som går utöver det vanliga. Vinnare av Costa Book of the Year 2019.
