A documentary about Kazimierz Piechowski, who escaped from Auschwitz in June 1942, masterminding his way out, disguised in SS uniforms, and in the Commandant’s car…

“Kazik and the Kommander’s Car” is a 25 minute documentary following songwriter Katy Carr’s visit to Poland in August 2009 to meet Kazik, now 90 years old, and play him her song “Kommander’s Car”, a tribute to Kazik’s do or die escape.
Kazik is one of the few people still living who can bear witness to the experience of Auschwitz. Through Kazik’s strong and moving response to Katy Carr’s song about his escape, we have a direct window into his experience. We find out about how he was imprisoned in Auschwitz in 1940 for being a Polish boy scout and resisting Nazi occupation. We hear about his experiences in Auschwitz and the audacity of his masterplan, and how he managed this unbelievable escape, when so few had ever escaped – out of millions, 802 tried, only 144 people made it.
Directed by Hannah Lovell
Produced by Katy Carr, with song “Kommander’s Car” by Katy Carr
