On October 14, 1943, 600 Jews imprisoned in Sobibor, a secret Nazi death camp in eastern Poland, revolted. They killed a dozen SS officers and guards, trampled the barbed wire fences, and raced across an open field filled with anti-tank mines. Against all odds, more than three hundred made it safely into the woods. Fifty of those men and women managed to survive the rest of the war. In this edition of Escape from Sobibor, fully updated in 2012, Richard Rashke tells their stories

Well written and engaging

I had seen the movie, but this is so much better. Well researched and the follow up on interviewing and meeting the survivors added to the book. A must read for anyone interested in the holocaust or history.

At only five years old, Saroo Brierley got lost on a train in India. Unable to read or write or recall the name of his hometown or even his own last name, he survived alone for weeks on the rough streets of Calcutta before ultimately being transferred to an agency and adopted by a couple in Australia. Despite his gratitude, Brierley always wondered about his origins. One day, after years of searching, he miraculously found what he was looking for and set off to find his family.

Not a zombie fan but this was good!
Revisado: 06-14-14
Would you listen to Raising Stony Mayhall again? Why?
I would read it again if I didn't have such a long list of books I want to read for the first time. However, I can see me re-visiting it again in 10 years.
What did you like best about this story?
I liked how the author made zombies, I mean the living dead, seem plausible. It is easy to relate the themes of discrimination and misunderstanding as experienced by the misunderstood LD, to what happens in our world.
What about David Marantz’s performance did you like?
David's voice and inflections added to the listening experience. Easy listening.
Any additional comments?
This was a fun read. I am a nonfiction fan who enjoys science, history and biography, but decided to try something completely different. I found myself smiling as I listened. I think the author must have had a fun time writing this. My friends can't believe I'm reading and ENJOYING a zombie book. I've recommended it to several friends and can't wait to see if they like it as much as I did.
