That's a silly statement. At least 196 people escaped from Auschwitz-Birkenau alone. I won't bother looking into the other camps.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

196 out of over 1.1 million is not a significant number.

You didn't say "an insignificant number of people escaped", you made a statement implying nobody ever escaped. That was false. Period.

Holocaust remembrance day; those numbers were tattooed on each prisoner, stripping them of any other identifier
