Sobibor was an extermination camp. Its sole purpose was to to kill. However, a small number of new arrivals were selected to help with the extermination process, for example, by sorting valuables and by getting rid of the corpses. In October 1943 there was a revolt by these men and a mass breakout. This was led by Alexander Perchersky and Leon Feldhendler. About 300 prisoners managed to get out. Many were recaptured but about 100 were still alive at the end of World War 2. Compare this figure with a death toll of about 250,000.

So, only 300 'passed through' Sobibor ...
