I love everything that Sarah does! You can really tell that she’s got a huge heart from the Vow documentary series; so good!

Thought I knew everything!

Revisado: 12-15-23

I’m glad I listened to this book
It was done really well from the author’s point of view, not just one of the victims or their perpetrator.
Also went back in time for each person so that you really understood (as much as possible), each history
Lots of details, but not the gore
Also, up to and after their freedom and what happened in court
I’ve read the girl’s (women’s) books which were great, but this rounds it all out
Good listen!
I’d like to know how everyone is doing now and pray for peace and happiness for all of the survivors 😊

Unbelievable
Read the summary
It’s 3-4 lives and neither shrinks from telling their good and bad choices
I wouldn’t judge them from any choices they made
Many tears shed while driving the 100 minute round trip to work teaching my little TK students
My second listen in a couple of years
I’d forgotten so much of their story
Probably in my top 3 of the 150+ audibles I’ve listened to🙂

A Classic; holds up Very Well!

Revisado: 09-17-21

It’s great. Unbelievable what slaves had to do for freedom and how the slave owners used and abused their slaves and offspring for life and then threw them away when they weren’t useful anymore.
It’s my 2nd listen in a few years and got a lot out of it that I’d missed before. Worth your while!

Can’t Believe Audible has it in Free List!

Revisado: 09-17-21

I read the son’s 2nd book before this one. I loved it so much I had to buy this first one! It was free. Yea! But it shouldn’t be. It’s amazing. No concentration camps but has love, fear, uncertainty, great joy and all through the eyes of a piano prodigy who was 14 when she lost her family to the Germans in Ukraine.
Read or listen to them both.

You Must Read Eddie’s Story

Revisado: 09-05-21

I’m like many others who listens to audible survivor stories and then I move in to the next. It’s impossible not to respect, like, and feel like he’d have been a great friend if I ever visited Australia.
He’s over 100!
The narrator is fabulous and although I learned new lows that theSS stooped to, thinking of Eddie rolling around in a big empty food barrel, coming to a stop at a tree, and then realizing he’s in prisoner clothes, was something I hope he chuckled about later.
He has no agenda except to be kind, how important good friends are, and love and appreciate your family.
It’s in my top 3 with “Night” (Pulitzer prize winner) and Escape from Sobi bor (movie doesn’t do it justice), and now Eddie’s story.
I would love to see a well made movie of this, but it should be a limited series with the best of the best involved in the making!

Top 3 for Me!!!

Revisado: 05-23-21

I remember seeing Ms. Klein's hour long documentary years ago. I stumbled on the audiobook a couple of weeks ago. It definitely didn't disappoint! I have an hour long commute and ended up continuing to listen in my driveway until I knew I needed to go inside my home.
No one will give this a negative rating. Impossible!

Don’t miss it!

Revisado: 02-23-19

I know nothing about rowing or “shells” but quickly became fascinated with the story of these 8 poor college kids
Going through the depression, the affects of the dust bowl, Hitler and the Jesse Owens time period of the olympics
How in Germany regular Germans would “Heil Hitler” them in the street and they would “Heil Roosevelt “ them back😀
I love a true story and this one is great!
Great narrator too
My 3rd listen in under a year
It’s a lot like “Invincible “
The one that’s a movie where he’s also an Olympian but gets shot down?
Sorry, in bumper to bumper traffic
My writing, spelling, and memory are awful; this audible isn’t!

Shocking

Revisado: 08-29-18

I bought this audible a long time ago and started it, but then stopped listening until now.
It may have been the narrator.
He’s got a deep voice which is fine, but he speaks very formally.
I finished it this time and am glad I did.
I thought I had read, listened to, and watched everything there was about holocaust survivors, but I was wrong.
I didn’t think I could be anymore shocked and saddened than I already was, but this survivor from Treblinca had to endure much more than I was prepared for.
To escape and journey to Warsaw and live for over a year before liberation could have easily been another book.
I’m going to have to Google him for more info
Not nearly enough
Definitely worth the listen
