Liberation (Based on a Historical Event)

BTW: assuming that in real space and time, it was a just a troop of Polish boys, I don't think it mandatory to designate a main character in the logline. It could be an ensemble story. (Unless there was an alpha character, a prime mover who was responsible for galvanizing the group and lead the liberation attempt.)

A high concept story sells itself without needing to slavishly adhere to all the usual rules for constructing a logline.

Wanted to add also that I agree that the liberation of a concentration camp would be far higher ambition than aiding a ghetto uprising. Higher stakes and originality do make this a high concept.
