Alicia: My Story

By: Alicia Appleman-Jurman

Narrated by: Gabrielle de Cuir, Stefan Rudnicki

Here is a thrilling, uplifting story of true-life heroism unequaled since the publication of Anne Frank’s diary - a story that the young must hear and their elders must remember. Take Alicia’s hand - and follow.

Her name is Alicia. She was 13 when she began saving the lives of people she did not know - while fleeing the Nazis through war-ravaged Poland.

Her family cruelly wrenched from her, Alicia rescued other Jews from the Gestapo, led them to safe hideouts, and lent them her courage and hope. Even the sight of her mother’s brutal murder could not quash this remarkable child’s faith in human goodness - or her determination to prevail against overwhelming odds.

After the war, Alicia continued to risk her life, leading Polish Jews on an underground route to freedom in Palestine. She swore on her brother’s grave that if she survived, she would speak for her silenced family. This book is the eloquent fulfillment of that oath.

Compelling and inspirational Must read

I am so thankful for her willingness to go back into the nightmare to bring this book to fruition. While I have read many accounts of the holocaust this one was different. Seen through the eyes of a child that became an adult so young. A daily walk in the life and the courageous ingenuity used to care for and generously share all that she had and more.

harrowing and heroic

lots and lots of details to follow through one of the most heroic and harrowing stories I've read about wwii survivors. the (jewish) author was persecuted beyond all imagination. she perseveres, displays heroic, intelligent, and fortuitous moxie. not a story that will be easy to forget. the world is a better place for the life of this amazing woman and so are those who are privileged to learn her life story.

A should be required reading!

Heart wrenching tale that all humans should read . Beautifully read, gripping story and generally powerful listen.

Moving story of resilience

It’s hard to fathom the evil that can exist in human hearts, or the resilience of the victims of that evil. Let us never forget.

I’ve listened to other books by this narrator and always enjoy them.

What an amazing courageous woman. I hope they make this into a miniseries soon! I loved it and the narrator did a fantastic job. Best read in a long time.
