This shattering and inspiring account of 12 Jewish prisoners who dug their way out of Nazi imprisonment in Lithuania, is both a stunning escape narrative and an object lesson in how we remember - and misremember - the Holocaust.After the Nazi invasion of Eastern Europe in 1941, more than 70,000 Jews were shot in the Lithuanian forest at Ponar. Anxious to hide incriminating evidence, the S.S. enslaved a group of men -- the so-called 'burning brigade -- to exhume the bodies from the pits and incinerate them.
Trapped in unimaginable horror and guarded day and night, the prisoners used spoons to dig a tunnel to freedom. But though they escaped physically, they were tormented for decades by their experiences.
Based on first-person accounts of the escapees and on every scrap of evidence now available, No Road Loading Back resurrects the lives of these men and faithfully records their acts of witness - and answers the question why their story has never been told in full until now.
