In late October 2006, one of the most spectacular kidnapping cases of the younger past had come to end, when Natascha Kampusch freed herself after being held captive in a hidden cellar for more than eight years. The perpetrator, Wolfgang Priklopil, killed himself on the same day to avoid prison. Media companies from all over the world were to cover Natascha’s life story, which has taken quite some twists over the past ten years. The result: two autobiographies, a feature film, several documentaries and hundreds of interviews. Furthermore, Natascha is participating in several charity projects world-wide regarding human rights and animal protection. Her second book “10 Years of Freedom”, was published in more than a dozen countries so far.
