The Grey Zone — Poland
Jewish Sonderkommando — prisoners forced to operate the crematoria — stage the October 1944 revolt, detonating explosives smuggled by women workers from the adjacent munitions factory.
On 7 October 1944 Sonderkommando members in Krematorium IV detonated explosives smuggled by four Jewish women factory workers. The uprising destroyed one crematorium. All 451 Sonderkommando involved were killed. The four women — including Roza Robota — were publicly hanged in January 1945. Tim Blake Nelson's film is based on Sonderkommando Miklos Nyiszli's memoir.
