About this listen

A terrible darkness has fallen upon Jacob Weisz’s beloved Germany. The Nazi regime, under the leadership of Adolf Hitler, has surged to power and now hold Germany by the throat. All non-Aryans - especially Jews like Jacob and his family - are treated like dogs.

When tragedy strikes during one terrible night of violence, Jacob flees and joins rebel forces working to undermine the regime. But after a raid goes horribly wrong, Jacob finds himself in a living nightmare - trapped in a crowded, stinking car on the train to the Auschwitz death camp.

As World War II rages and Hitler begins implementing his "final solution" to systematically and ruthlessly exterminate the Jewish people, Jacob must rely on his wits and a God he’s not sure he believes in to somehow escape from Auschwitz and alert the world to the Nazi’s atrocities before Fascism overtakes all of Europe. The fate of millions hangs in the balance.

Triumphant Storytelling!

My wife and I loved this audio book. This was our introduction to Joel C. Rosenberg and we can’t wait to read/listen to another of his works. Gripping character development and a careful rendition of history’s greatest tragedy made this story one to remember.

Christopher Lane’s performance was equally memorable. Highly recommend this audio book!

Exceptional Tale

This book starts amazing, chronicling the nightmarish events suffered by a French pastor hiding jewish families in WWII Vichy France, and a teenaged German jew who survives Kristallnacht and the harvesting of jews soon after the war starts.
Unfortunately it goes from there into a brief Inglorious Basterds-like crusade against evil. OF COURSE the teenaged Belgian Jew is a demolitions expert.
Thankfully it returns to a moving tale of life in Auschwitz/Birkenau, and the scheme to escape and tell the world what's going on. It's very well-written, with good pace, vivid descriptions, and interesting characters in genuine, nail-biting jeopardy. A fine example of historical fiction.

Christopher Lane is a very good narrator. His accents are decent (though sometimes a little disappointing), and his narrative pace is excellent. Very good reader.

This book is worthy of 9 out of 10 stars.

Thanks for putting this together!

Oh how the Jews have suffered - thanks reminding us of how God continues to save them - reminds me of the Book of Esther too.

Jesus was a Jew and I will forever be thankful for how God has redeemed us through His chosen people. We are all one people now through this sacrifice.
