Witold Pilecki: “I have been inside for two years and seven months. I have had a job to do here. Lately I have had no instructions. Now the Germans have shipped out our best people with whom I’ve been working. I would have to start from scratch. I can see no further point in staying here. Therefore, I’m going to leave.” >Captain 159 [Stanisław Machowski] looked at me in some surprise and said: “Yes. I can see that, but can one pick and choose when one wants to come to Auschwitz and when one wants to leave?” >Witold Pilecki “One can.” This 6-minute youtube video is a good start: [www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-cuylywp6g&ab_channel=patrickney](https://trp.red/t/4t4) There is also a book about him "The Auschwitz Volunteer: Beyond Bravery" ------- Please share a story about a strong man whether its someone famous or your dad, grandpa, uncle, etc #HardTimesCreateStrongMen " />
