A WW2 Novel Based on Harrowing True Events

De: Michael Reit

Berlin, 1938

It’s no longer safe here.

When the Jewish families of Berlin start disappearing in nightly raids, 21-year-old Jacob Kagan knows it’s only a matter of time before the trucks come for him. Along with his family and best friend, he flees the country he’s always called home to find shelter in a Dutch refugee camp. Before long, the Netherlands falls to the Nazi war machine - Jacob’s new home is transformed into a transit camp with weekly trains bound for the horrors of the Eastern concentration camps.

Handpicked by the cruel new SS regime to police the camp’s Jewish population, Jacob has the opportunity to save his parents and best friend from the dreaded transport lists - but at what cost?

Based on true events, Beyond the Tracks is a redemptive story of unconditional loyalty, and a will to survive at impossible odds.

Gripping Story

I enjoyed the book very much . Kept on the
edge of your seat throughout the book

Outstandingly Story

This was such a gripping story that is so well written. I found the characters and what happened to them completely believable. It gave me so much information about what happened and how. I couldn’t wait to keep listening to the story! At times one of the characters sounded as if he had a cockney accent but it didn’t put me off the story at all. I thoroughly recommend this Audible tape and book.

So sad the families torn apart

Enjoyed it, though I cried often
Hard to believe how compliant everyone was at first thinking the Govt would take care of them

Beyond the tracks

Amazing story. Never forget the persecution of the Jewish people and the hero’s that were able to survive and save others and themselves.

Riveting story of a time we should never forget

I loved the development of characters and the information on how people coped with the incredibly inhumane German occupation. I loved learning more about the resistance.
