Narrator was Excellent

The story began like any holocaust story but the narrator kept you interested, as the storyline progressed you understood the sacrifices of these women, by the ending you wanted more. Thoroughly enjoyed.

Tears to my eyes

It's rare that I would get tears to my eyes, but this book.

i don't know if it is because I lived in Israel or not, but the narrative is heartbreaking. I wish books like that were mandatory in school, so that the future generations knew where we came from and where we should never end up !

War is Hell for Women

I found this book very sad and a little too long.The performances of the girls were very good. I would highly recommend it to someone interested in the Second World War and the history of the Jewish people.

Incredible testimony of war

This is a book well worth listening to. It’s hard to imagine how great the suffering was in world war #2.
How a human being can be so cruel and hard. Very heartbreaking.

What a touching story of survival

The narrator was wonderful at making each character come alive with her change of voices/accents.

Don’t believe in Miracles?

Journeying with these three women and their families through wonderful early years, and then the camps, is unbelievable. To have their descendants share their stories is a gift. Destiny decides. A difficult but authentic story.

Historical and profound

I loved this book. I loved hearing about the strength, perseverance and determination of not only these women but so many others like them that survived these horrors. It is hard to believe such hatred and abuse of power existed and sadly still exists in our world. It is terrifying to me. The reason I gave the book 4 stars for the story, is that if I put it in the overall section it showed up as a 4 star and I believe it deserves 5 stars. The story is wonderful, sad and sickening to think people suffered like this but wonderful. It is simply that sometimes I found it hard to follow the storylines as it jumped back and forth between stories, historical accounts and timelines. Maybe if I had the time to just read it (listen to it) from start to finish over a short time period that would not be an issue. But I am so busy, that my reading (listening time ----the reason I LOVE LOVE LOVE audio books!!!) is limited to getting ready for work in the morning and my morning & evening commute to and from work (often interrupted by family calls hahaha). Thus I sometimes struggled to keep up. When I retire in the next few years I may listen to this again. Thank you for your treasured work:)

Powerful Book

Even if you think you know a lot about Hitler’s persecution of the Jewish people, you will learn and feel a great deal more after reading this book. I am so sad that people are capable of treating others like this.
It is a true testimony to courage beyond any I have yet to have heard.

A Must Listen

Although the subject is thought provoking, I learned from a prisoners point of view what being in a death camp really meant. This book made me think of all the men, women and children whose lives were lost or forever changed. This book should be required reading for people everywhere so we don't continue to oppress and dehumanize persons of different ethnic and cultural backgrounds. When will we ever learn we are more alike than not?
