Cast the Movie Now: Daring Escape from Auschwitz Brought on By Love

This movie would make a pile of money and maybe Oscar nods depending on who plays the hero.

The day was July 21, 1944. Bielecki was walking in broad daylight down a pathway at Auschwitz, wearing a stolen SS uniform with his Jewish sweetheart Cyla Cybulska by his side.

His knees buckling with fear, he tried to keep a stern bearing on the long stretch of gravel to the sentry post.

The German guard frowned at his forged pass and eyed the two for a period that seemed like an eternity — then uttered the miraculous words: "Ja, danke" — yes, thank you — and let Jerzy and Cyla out of the death camp and into freedom.

I would go with Johnny Depp to play Bielecki and maybe Kate Winslett with dyed hair to play Cyla. It would be like the Notebook with SS guards. Maybe like Letters to Juliet meets the Great Escape.
