There were three uprisings, all by the Sonderkommandos at extermination camps * Trelinka II (1943) * Sobibor (1943) * Auschwitz II (1944) The uprisings at Treblinka and Sobibor were mass breakouts. Many of those who broke out were recaptured. About 40 of the prisoners who broke out of Treblinka and 150 of those who broke out of Sobibor were still alive at the end of World War 2.
