October the 14th, 1943, Sobibor. A Nazi death camp where over one quarter million Jews were killed. But on the revolt that day, over 300 of the 600 prisoners made it to freedom, something which had never happened before, and would never happen again in WW2. Within days, SS chief Himmler ordered the camp closed, dismantled, and planted with pine trees. In that forest now stands this monument to the dead. It is also a reminder of the valiant fighters of Sobibor, who are among those who began to make the idea and the vow "never again" a reality
