The Last Witness. The Story of a Man Who Survived Three Concentration Camps and the Largest Shipwreck of World War II
1943. Twenty-year-old Dutchman Wim Alozeriy escapes from a labor camp in Nazi Germany, hiding on the roof of a moving train. In an attempt to hide, he lives on a farm, where he sleeps for months in a wooden chest...
buried underground. But this too is short-lived: under the cover of night, Wim is captured and taken to the Gestapo. The nightmare of the Holocaust begins there. He is to survive three concentration camps – Amersfoort, then Husum and Neuengamme. But the most terrible trial awaits him at the end of the war.
Along with other prisoners, Wim finds himself on the notorious German liner "Cap Arcona," which comes under attack from the Royal Air Force. British fighter planes sink ships, aboard which are 7,000 prisoners. Few manage to escape, but Wim Alozeriy survives one of the greatest shipwrecks of all time. And many years later, at 94, he finally decides to tell writer Frank Krake his incredible story. As its last witness.
