About half the 300 prisoners who escaped were recaptured soon afterwards. They split into small groups, and the group of nine men headed by Alexander Pechersky made its way eastwards till it made contact with a group of Soviet guerrillas in Belarus. They joined the group and fought as part of it ... Pecherksy lived in the Soviet Union till his death in 1990.
(The other leader of the breakout, Leon Feldhendler, was murdered by Polish antisemites in January 1945).

∙ 11y agoThey knew if just one person escaped, another at the camp would be shot. So, of course, they had to create a mass-escape. They killed 11 SS guards and a ton of Ukrainian guards. 300 of 600 prisoners escaped, although only around 50 survived the war.
For more information, watch the movie Escape from Sobibor, for real-in-depth information. It is also a very good movie without a tremendous amount of blood, sex, drugs, or profanity. (See Related Links)
