Historia
The daughter of a Jewish seed exporter, the author was born Mira Ryczke in 1923 in a suburb of the Baltic seaport of Danzig (now Gdansk, Poland). Her childhood was happy, and she learned to cherish her faith and heritage. Through the 1930s, Mira's family remained in the Danzig area despite a changing political climate that was compelling many friends and neighbors to leave. With the Polish capitulation to Germany in the autumn of 1939, however, Mira and her family were forced from their home.

Poignant account of the Holocaust atrocities
Revisado: 07-06-17
Would you listen to Echoes from the Holocaust again? Why?
This audio-book was a disturbing, sorrowful chronicling of Mira's struggles through such a dark time. It is equally a triumphant account of the power of hope, determination and and accountability through the telling of history.

Historia
Seventy years ago, Joe Rubinstein walked out of a Nazi concentration camp. Until now, his story has been hidden from the world. Shortly before dawn on a frigid morning in Radom, Poland, 21-year-old Joe answered a knock at the door of the cottage he shared with his widowed mother and siblings. German soldiers forced him onto a crowded open-air truck. Wearing only an undershirt and shorts, Joe was left on the truck with no protection from the cold. By the next morning, several around him would be dead. From there, things got worse for young Joe, much worse.

Heartbreaking, humbling, inspirational! I had a hard time putting this audiobook down each night. Found myself praying often, grateful for the life I have. Joe really leaves you thinking about how precious every moment of life, family, freedom, and togetherness we have in this lifetime.

A different kind of true crime
Revisado: 12-12-16
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes, this book really caught my attention because the focus was not on the gore of the crime like many true crime books.
What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative?
I enjoyed hearing the story from a daughter's point of view, as she gained knowledge of her father's lifestyle (for better or worse).
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The compassion showed towards her father's murderer seemed to really "fit" the ending.
