PILECKI: AN ORDINARY MAN - AN EXTRAORDINARY HERO
Home Army soldier, cavalry captain Witold Pilecki, risking his life, deliberately gets arrested in order to be imprisoned in the Auschwitz concentration camp. There he organizes the underground resistance movement of the Home Army, and after 947 days of captivity and a daring escape, writes reports in which he reveals the truth about Holocaust and other crimes. He then takes part in the Warsaw Uprising and fights in General Anders' Second Polish Corps in Italy. Upon his return to Poland, he is arrested by the communist authorities, brutally interrogated and under pretext of espionage sentenced to death.
During his last meeting with his wife, he said: “I can no longer live, I am finished. Auschwitz was nothing compared to this”. He was sentenced to death. President Bolesław Bierut did not agree to pardon him. The cavalry captain Pilecki was executed on 25 May 1948 in Warsaw.
En soldat fra hjemmehæren, kaptein Witold Pilecki, som risikerer livet, lar seg bevisst arrestere for å bli fengslet i konsentrasjonsleiren Auschwitz. Der organiserer han den underjordiske motstandsbevegelsen til Hjemmehæren, og etter 947 dager i leirfangenskap og en vågal flukt, skriver han rapporter der han prøver å informere verden om Holocaust og andre forbrytelser. Deretter deltar han i Warszawa-opprøret og kjemper i general Anders' II polske korps i Italia. Etter at han kom tilbake til Polen, ble han arrestert av kommunistiske myndigheter, brutalt forhørt og dømt til døden under påskudd av spionasje. Under sitt siste besøk hos sin kone sa han: «Jeg kan ikke leve lenger, jeg er utslitt, Auschwitz var et lek». Han ble dømt til døden. President Bolesław Bierut gikk ikke med på benådningen. Dommen over kaptein Pilecki ble fullbyrdet 25. mai 1948 i Warszawa
The long-awaited historical super production presents the a story of one of Poland's greatest heroes – cavalry captain, Witold Pilecki. He was a scout, participant in the Battle of Warsaw, defender of Poland in 1939, member of the resistance movement, a Warsaw insurgent, and more than that he joined the army and served in Ander’s division. He showed courage unprecedented in the world – he volunteered to be imprisoned in Auschwitz concentration camp, from which he bravely escaped after 947 days. In a report written after his escape, he revealed the truth about the criminal activities of the Germans. After the war, he was arrested, tortured and sentenced to death by the communists for activities hostile to People's Poland, but he never renounced his ideals.
A patriot faithful to his values and his oath to Free Poland remained torn between his duties towards his homeland and family. A brave soldier, as well as an affectionate father and husband, faced with tragic moral dilemmas. He will forever remain in our culture as a symbol of love, heroism and steadfast fight for the truth.
In 2006, after Pilecki’s rehabilitation in 1990, he was posthumously decorated by the President Lech Kaczyński with the Order of the White Eagle. In 2013, the cavalry captain was promoted to the rank of the colonel. British historian Professor Michael Foot regards Witold Pilecki to be one of the six bravest men of the resistance during World War II.
