Tracks to Freedom

Beyond the Tracks

De: Michael Reit

Narrado por: John Maddaloni

The only way you’ll leave Auschwitz is through the chimney.

The words still rang in Agnes Markx’s head as she left the Judenramp and the hive of activity around the train behind. As a nurse assigned to Block 10, she realizes the stories of the horrors transpiring here weren’t exaggerated. Now an unwilling accomplice in the Nazi doctors’ medical experiments, she vows to save as many women under her care as possible.

Electrician Joel Kozak has access to all areas of the gargantuan camp. When the underground camp resistance reaches out to him one day, he discovers his appointment wasn’t by accident.

As a stoker in Birkenau’s crematoria, Samson Tarski witnesses more death in an hour than most people in a lifetime. The thought of stepping into the gas chambers and ending his struggle is always on his mind. But when one of his friends shares a bold plan to rise up and destroy the buildings of death, he finds a renewed sense of purpose.

These three strangers are now part of an attempt to achieve the impossible without knowing each other.

To rise up, destroy the Auschwitz-Birkenau death factory, and escape to tell the world about it.

Based on actual events, Tracks to Freedom is a story of bravery and the battle to retain one’s humanity in a place where there is none.

Great story but awful narration

In the beginning I almost gave up on this book because of the narrator. I found him to be monotone, stilted and unemotional. But I’m very glad I did not! This was a gripping tale of brutality, love and defiance and the determination of a few for the betterment of many. You should read it!

Excellent!!!!

It would be impossible to put into words how much I enjoyed this book. I listened to it on audio book. The narration really brought it to life. Thank you Mr Reit for the story and Mr Maddaloni for the narration. You’ve found a forever fan.

Page turner!!! Had to keep listening…my husband found me in my garage 30 minutes after I arrived home!!

The stories of each character and how they blended with the first book - Tracks to Freedom was nice to follow.., I knew some of the characters already… the narrator was outstanding!!! So many accents and languages… very good book!! Read the 3 series for sure… on to the Botanist’s Tracks!

Disturbing yet needed

As disturbing as the story is, the least we can do is acknowledge the atrocities and never forget. The sparks of courage showcase the strength of the human spirit. My only criticism is the robotic voice of the narrator. Thank you, Michael.
