∙ 15y agoNot much chance to escape, with high barbed wire all around, and guards on watchtowers with machine guns. In addition to the low chance of actually escaping, they also did not know who they could trust to tell about the escape. Certainly, it was impossible for one person to escape on his/her own. If they were to get all of the Jews together to escape, they might have been able to pull it off, but as I said, they did not know who they could trust.

∙ 15y agomany people probably tried, but with heavy nazi security, it would have been a death sentence. The number that tried to escape is unknown. However, in October 1943 there was an uprising at Sobibor, and about half the 600 prisoners managed to escape. The Wikipedia article on Auschwitz (accessed 17 February 2009) states that " About 700 prisoners attempted to escape from the Auschwitz camps during the years of their operation, of which about 300 were successful".

- There were very few individuals or groups who were willing to help the Jews escape. Jews who were caught trying to escape were immediately executed.
