Opatów is a town of some 8,000 people in south - central Poland. Tourist attractions include the 13th-century Collegiate Church of St. Martin, 15th-century baroque Bernardine monastery, 16th-century city gate, an enormous town square and a underground network of tunnels now open to the public! It is also the location of a WW2 ghetto which functioned across four streets which you can see in this film. Treblinka escapee Samuel Willenburg was deported from Opatów to the death camp in October 1942 - he was the only survivor of that deportation.
