Chaim Powroźnik claimed that the work on the tunnel was started by prisoners from the transport, which he had come from Chełm in February 1943. They managed to make almost 30 meters of excavation, but they were denounced by a young boy who was a kapo in camp III. Powroźnik remembered this prisoner because he had also come from “his” transport. (…) The prisoner-kapo continued his function in camp III, and it was he who informed the Germans about his plans to escape through the tunnel, which was almost ready. The Germans then shot about 80 prisoners of camp III.
An excerpt from Marek Bem’s book Sobibór, the German extermination center, 1942-1943, Włodawa / Sobibór 2011, pp. 563-565, (excerpts from chapter 14. Escapes and spontaneous forms of prisoners’ resistance)

He came from the “same” transport, so he was a Jew. His name is unknown, but the Germans brought Jews to Sobibór from Slovakia, Poland and the USSR.

Here is another account of Jakub BiskupiczJakub Biskupicz (1926 - 2002) born in Hrubieszów, the author of memoirs from Sobibór titled From Hrubieszów to Sobibór.:

There are good and bad in every society. And I’ll tell you. In our camp, a few boys were selected from the transport. There was a boy was also selected, and was designated to be a kapo (…) in camp number 3. A young boy was controlling others burning bodies, working at the “fire” [furnace – note ed.]. But apparently he noticed there something and reported it – and then the Germans killed all 80 people.
