Auschwitz Sonderkommando revolt

The Auschwitz Sonderkommando revolt occurred on 7 October 1944, when a large group of Sonderkommando members in the crematoria area of Birkenau camp (also known as Auschwitz II) rebelled against the SS guards of the camp. The revolt was suppressed after Crematorium IV was blown up, killing three guards and 452 members of the Sonderkommando.
