One day in April, 1943, resistance fighter Youra Livchitz, a young doctor, discovered the departure date of the next transport train and recruited two school friends to pull off one of the most daring rescues of the entire war. Equipped with only three pairs of pliers, a hurricane lamp covered in red paper, and a single pistol, the men ambushed the train, which was transporting 1,618 Jews to Auschwitz. These three lone men freed seventeen men and women before the German guards opened fire. Miraculously, by the time the convoy had reached the German border another 225 prisoners had managed to escape unharmed and found shelter with the locals. In a testament to the solidarity of the Belgians, no one was betrayed. No one, that is, except the three young rescuers, who were turned in by a double agent, imprisoned, and killed. Like Schindler's List, The Twentieth Train creates a vivid, moving portrait of heroism under impossible circumstances.

The True Story of the Raid on the 20th Train to Auschwitz SILENT REBELS tells for the first time the amazing true story of how three young people stopped a train and rescued more than 200 Jews on their way to the Auschwitz death camp. Equipped only with three pairs of pliers, a hurricane lamp and a single pistol, Youra Livchitz, Jean Frankelmon and Robert Maistriau carried out a plan that had been hatched by Jewish members of the resistance but rejected as too dangerous by the armed partisans. Marion Schreiber's gripping book draws on private documents, archive material and police reports, and not least interviews with escapers, to create a vivid, and often very moving, portrait of this event, and the world that engendered it.
