The Auschwitz Report

Based on a true story, this historical drama follows Freddy and Valér, two young Slovak Jews deported to Auschwitz in 1942. After careful planning and with support from other prisoners, they escape the camp on April 10, 1944. The two men travel through mountains to return to Slovakia, where they contact the Red Cross and the resistance to provide a detailed account of the genocide occurring in the camp. Despite their efforts to save lives, their testimony is so harrowing that many find it impossible to believe.

The screenplay was written by Bebjak alongside Tomáš Bombík and Josef Pešťák. The movie stars Noël Czuczor as Freddy and Peter Ondrejička as Valér, with a supporting cast that includes John Hannah, Wojciech Mecwaldowski, Jacek Beler, and Jan Nedbal.
