On June 20th 1942, Kazik Piechowski, then a Polish boy scout, and three other prisoners, disguised themselves as SS officers, stole the commandant's car, and escaped from Auschwitz. This short documentary follows the songwriter Katy Carr's visit to Poland in August 2009 to meet Kazik, now 90, and play him her song 'Kommander's Car', a tribute to his do-or-die escape. Through Kazik's strong and moving response to Katy's song, we have a direct window into his memory and experience of the last 80 metres of his escape, where he and the other prisoners have driven to the outside checkpoint of Auschwitz, and all their lives depend upon five seconds of daring and inspiration.
