Witold Pilecki (left while being jailed) smuggled himself into Auschwitz in September 1940, just four months after the camp in Nazi-occupied Poland was established. Pilecki, a member of Poland's most influential resistance group, wanted to find out more about leaked reports of horrific brutality inside the camp. Auschwitz had been established as a concentration camp for political prisoners, but it would later be used as the location of the murder of nearly one million Jewish men, women, and children during the Holocaust. Pilecki was a witness to the camp's horrors before he escaped in 1943, describing how'mass murder' occurred in the camp's gas chambers, which were disguised as showers. Now a new film by James Bond and 1917 producer Jayne-Ann Tenggren is supposed to tell the amazing true story of Pilecki's life. 'The Enemy of My Enemy,' a screenplay by English actor and writer Matt King based on Marco Patricelli's 2010 book 'The Volunteer' (il Volontario) Inset: 1945 Auschwitz was inaugurated.
