The Brothers of Auschwitz

De: Malka Adler, Noel Canin

Narrado por: Peter Noble

The USA Today Bestseller

My brother’s tears left a delicate, clean line on his face. I stroked his cheek, whispered, it’s really you …

Dov and Yitzhak live in a small village in the mountains of Hungary, isolated both from the world and from the horrors of the war.

But one day in 1944, everything changes. The Nazis storm the homes of the Jewish villagers and inform them they have one hour. One hour before the train will take them to Auschwitz.

Six decades later, from the safety of their living rooms at home in Israel, the brothers finally break their silence to a friend who will never let their stories be forgotten.

Malka Adler’s extraordinary biographical novel of a family separated by the Holocaust and their harrowing journey back to each other is based on interviews with the brothers she grew up with by the Sea of Galilee. When they decided to tell their story, she was the only one they would talk to.

Told in a poetic style reminiscent of Margaret Atwood, this is a visceral yet essential read for those who have found strength, solace and above all, hope, in books like The Choice, The Librarian of Auschwitz and The Tattooist of Auschwitz.

Fantastic storytelling

The story was gripping, addictive, heartbreaking and horrifying all at the same time. I was moved to tears. This is a story that will stay with me forever. The events of the Holocaust were told in a raw and deeply emotional manner.

Sit back and Think

The Brothers of Auschwitz is a story that while you read makes you sit back and think about how lives were at that time, not only for the brothers but everyone else that was imprisoned in the concentration camps. The book was filled with a lot of mixed emotions from being sad, scared and happy. If you want a good story that takes you back to WWII and what happened to everyone that was in the concentration camp then I 100% recommend this story.

Very heartbreaking. A story of true reality.

I love the story. My only prayer is that this history never repeats itself. I am truly proud of the survivors who were able to document this so that it can be remembered.
