About this listen
The gripping tale about two boys, once as close as brothers, who find themselves on opposite sides of the Holocaust.
Elliot Rosenzweig, a respected civic leader and philanthropist, is attending a fundraiser when he is suddenly accosted and accused of being a former Nazi SS officer named Otto Piatek, the Butcher of Zamosc. Although the charges are denounced as preposterous, his accuser is convinced he is right and engages attorney Catherine Lockhart to bring Rosenzweig to justice. Solomon persuades attorney Catherine Lockhart to take his case, revealing that the true Piatek was abandoned as a child and raised by Solomon's own family only to betray them during the Nazi occupation. But has Solomon accused the right man?
Once We Were Brothers is Ronald H. Balson's compelling tale of two boys and a family who struggle to survive in war-torn Poland, and a young love that struggles to endure the unspeakable cruelty of the Holocaust. Two lives, two worlds, and 60 years converge in an explosive race to redemption that makes for a moving and powerful tale of love, survival, and ultimately the triumph of the human spirit.

I gasped more than once..
This is such a great book, like a history lesson and mystery wrapped up in one. I gasped aloud more than once. This story rips your heart out frequently, especially near the end. I really enjoy the writing style, and appreciate that due to how it is written, you get breaks between intense parts. Also, love the narration.

Great Story
Great story line, narration was great.
The only comment I would say, is there were 2-3 instances where a cliche was used that I felt didn't fit quite right.
Very happy with the book.

Enjoyed it!
My hubby and I always listen to audible books when we travel….even he really enjoyed this book. We kept going back & forth if Elliot really was who he was accused of being. The only thing I did not like was when the character Catherine would keep saying she wasn’t good enough, or wasn’t a good attorney. I understand that people don’t always see their own values but it was through out the whole book. Other than that, we totally enjoyed it.

Heartbreaking but so inspiring.
I don’t normally write reviews but this book deserved one. I don’t plan on giving a synopsis of the book. You just have to read it but I’m going to say one thing, this was quite likely one of the best books I’ve ever heard/read. The performance and story were both incredible. Just read this book. I wish I could give it 10 starts.

Good book!
Interesting story, very good performance.
The Ben’s story is very vivid and some details may deeply disturb the listener.
Recommended.
