The Bunker

Plot

In August 1944 the Warsaw uprising, set in motion by the underground Polish army, was nearing its end. Among those who had participated in that uprising were Jews who had somehow survived the 1943 Warsaw Ghetto rebellion and had been living in places of concealment insider or ouside the ghetto, or masquerading illegally as Poles. Seven people succeded in excaping the roundup and masacre of Jews that followed the Warsaw uprising by hiding in a bunker. Charles Goldstein was one of those seven Jews. From about September 1944 until January 1945 he lived with six others under inconceivable conditions. Yet they survived. How they managed this is told in The Bunker.
