(Goldhagen, 154) 1943 Six hundred Jewish prisoners, led by a Soviet-Jewish POW, attack German guards at Sobibor and attempt to break out of the concentration camp. Eleven SS men and several Ukrainians are killed, and three hundred prisoners succeed in getting beyond the camp's barbed wire fence, but two hundred of them are killed soon afterwards.
