synopsis

19 April 1943. On the day that the uprising breaks out in the Warsaw ghetto, an attempt is made to stop a Jewish transport in Belgium. It's the one and only time this would ever happen in the whole of occupied Europe's history. Strangely enough, this somewhat impetuous attack is nowhere to be found in the footnotes of World War II The three men who planned this attack weren't members of a resistance group. They only had one pistol and about seven bullets between them to keep a contingent of trigger-happy SS troopers occupied. Of the 50 people in the cattle truck, only a handful decides to take their chances. Most believe it to be a trap.
