Description

The extraordinary stories of Australia's forgotten prisoners of war.


This a record of some of the extraordinary experiences of Australia's and New Zealand's forgotten prisoners of war. Journalist Paul Rea uncovered a shocking story of an Australian ex-POW who had been illegally thrown into a Nazi concentration camp known as Terezin (the Living Grave) in Czechoslovakia. His subsequent investigation tracked down more than a dozen veterans who broke a long silence to speak about their horrendous ordeals. Voices from the Fortress is the story of the men who survived.
