Riveting and compelling, The Wall tells the inspiring story of forty men and women who escape the dehumanizing horror of the Warsaw ghetto.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Only a true novelist could breathe warmth, compassion, humor, into what a historian would necessarily have pictured as a stark, hopeless, tragic series of events. Only a sensitive novelist could compel us to embark upon such a fearful adventure as this and remain until the end." -- The New York Times

"A searching, heroic story." -- The Atlantic

Moving fictional account of the Warsaw ghetto

Excellent narrator. You can hear the many places that were re-recorded to correct pronunciation but it’s more important to have those corrections. Vivid characters. Based on a real archive that was created to collect the experiences of Jews under increasingly oppressive conditions.

Amazing novel!

The cover mentions that one lives the book not mere read - so true!! I cried.

The slow truth

At first, it was difficult to get into the way it was written. But in time, I couldn’t wait to listen. You grew to love the characters.

Awesome

what a great book. I enjoyed reading every minute of it. It was incredibly real listening to the narrative of the ghetto experience.

The reality of antisemitism and racism

The author works hard to preserve the ply of the Jews in Poland during the war . The book brings forward what happens when we forget that all man have been made in God’s image.
