About this book

“The Volunteer: The True Story of the Resistance Hero who Infiltrated Auschwitz” is a 2019 publication by Jack Fairweather. It chronicles the life of Witold Pilecki, a Polish soldier and member of the resistance who voluntarily infiltrated Auschwitz, the notorious concentration camp. Pilecki undertook this perilous mission in 1940 with the aim of gathering intelligence and potentially sparking a revolt. Despite the immense dangers, he stayed in the camp for almost three years. After his escape, he continued his resistance efforts and even took part in the Warsaw Uprising. Tragically, he was later put to death by the communist government of Poland. His comprehensive report on the horrors of Auschwitz significantly influenced the Allies’ understanding of the Holocaust.
