The year was 1939, Eugene Lazowski, a young doctor practicing in the Nazi occupied city of Rozwadow Poland, courageously provides assistance to his fellow citizens when they are condemned to a German labor camp. Lazowski, risks his life and that of his entire family when he devises a plan to inject his patients with the dead Typhus bacterium, thereby, creating the illusion of an epidemic. Although Nazi authorities are at first suspect of the outbreak, Lazowski cleverly outwits their inquiries, saving thousands of fellow Jews from a miserable end. This is based off of a true story.
