HMMSA Reads: The Escape Artist

Winner of the National Jewish Book Award · New York Times Bestseller

"A brilliant and heart-wrenching book, with universal and timely lessons about the power of information—and misinformation. Is it possible to stop mass murder by telling the truth?" — Yuval Noah Harari, bestselling author of Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind and Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow

A complex hero. A forgotten story. The first witness to reveal the full truth of the Holocaust . . .

Award-winning journalist and bestselling novelist Jonathan Freedland tells the astonishing true story of Rudolf Vrba, the man who broke out of Auschwitz to warn the world of a truth too few were willing to hear.

Our Exhibits

Take a journey through the darkest times in modern history, and learn about the rise of Nazism and trace the incremental steps that led to murder in the killing fields and death camps. Trace America’s reaction and involvement in events unfolding in Europe, join us in memorial of the holocaust survivors who immigrated to San Antonio following liberation, and pause for a moment of silence in the terrace to remember all of the lives lost during the Holocaust.
