Tiny children, old men, beautiful girls - in the gas chambers of Treblinka, all are equal.

Remember Us is a look back at the lost world of the shtetl: a wise Zayde offering prophetic and profound words to his grandson, the rich experience of Shabbos, and the treasure of a loving family. All this is torn apart with the arrival of the Holocaust, beginning a crucible fraught with twists and turns so unpredictable and surprising that they defy any attempt to find reason within them. Through the eyes of 91-year-old Holocaust survivor Martin Small, we learn that these priceless memories that are too painful to remember are also too painful to forget.

Imagine being a 13-year-old girl in love with boys, school, family - life itself. Then suddenly, in a matter of hours, your life is shattered by the arrival of a foreign army. This is the memoir of Elli Friedmann, who was 13 years old in March 1944, when the Nazis invaded Hungary. It describes her descent into the hell of Auschwitz, a concentration camp where, because of her golden braids, she was selected for work instead of extermination. In intimate, excruciating details she recounts what it was like.

In September, 1939, George Lucius Salton's boyhood in Tyczyn, Poland, was shattered by escalating violence and terror under German occupation. His father, a lawyer, was forbidden to work, but 11-year-old George dug potatoes, split wood, and resourcefully helped his family. They suffered hunger and deprivation, a forced march to the Rzeszow ghetto, then eternal separation when 14-year-old George and his brother were left behind to labor in work camps while their parents were deported in boxcars to die in Belzec. For the next three years, George slaved and barely survived in 10 concentration camps.

Publisher's Summary
Stephen 'Pista' Nasser was 13 years old when the Nazis whisked him and his family away from their home in Hungary to Auschwitz. His memories of that terrifying experience are still vivid, and his love for his brother Andris still brings a husky tone to his voice when he remembers the terrible ordeal they endured together. Stephen's account of the Holocaust, told in the refreshingly direct and optimistic language of a young boy, will help every listener to understand that the Holocaust was real, and that, if you have enough love, determination, and will power, there is always a better tomorrow!

Heartbreaking Journey through a Survival Story...
I can't say enough about this book. Sad that it takes a story like this to put life into perspective....but my toughest days do not come close. I find it especially heartwarming to hear Mr. Nasser's comments about the United States and how he wants to emigrate here. It makes me especially proud and very thankful to have been fortunate to be born in a country where I am free by all accounts of the word. No regrets in purchasing this audio book and highly recommend it.

Deeply moving account of a Holocaust survivor
If you could sum up My Brother's Voice in three words, what would they be?
I think I would say this is the BEST biography I have ever EVER read. Absolutely awe inspiring account of a young boy during the Holocaust. I have read and reread and listened to it on audible. I have passed it around and those who have read it say similar things

Great Story, Needs Help
First of all, get the print version. The narrator’s reading diminishes the story.
The story, as all Holocaust stories, is worth telling. But the writing is very simple and not very good. Yet, I’m glad to have learned Nasser’s experiences, which gave me a fuller understanding of this terrible time in history. He’s a positive man and we can all learn from him.

SURVIVAL
A true story of the past and the future. One hard to put down, and one I the reader read with tears, fears, anguish and laughter as his reality became my reality.
SURVIVAL is the deeply moving story of the author's horrifying teen years under the Nazi regime.
It is also the story the author shares with us about his deepest hopes for eeryone. Both now and in the future. A story of possibilities in our own lives. One of freedom and hope for fellow kindnss towards one another in our world.
it is also a story about family.
A bonus feature of this book is the wonderful interview at the end of his book.
Loved this amazing book, and liked hearing about tne future gift he now envisiones for this tale. No spoilers about that. You can hear all about it in the interview.

I loved how the story was written. But I didn't always like the narrator's voice in the dialogues. And I would have like him to actually know how words are pronounced in Hungarian. And especially the names of the people and the city of Budapest.

I don't normally give 5 stars as that would make the book perfect. However, this is one of the few narrative stories I just could not put down, so is deserving 5 stars? In 1943 the Nazis invaded Hungary. This true story tells of how a13 year old survived hard labour, starvation, brutality, seeing family murdered and his hero brothers death. Using inner strength and his brother voice he managed to move on with his life to tell his story.

not enjoying it
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
I don't like how the story is narrated. It feels like west side story style acting which doesn't fit this book at all.
What was one of the most memorable moments of My Brother's Voice?
Haven't finished it unfortunately
Would you be willing to try another one of Maxwell Glick’s performances?
Perhaps for a lighthearted story
You didn’t love this book--but did it have any redeeming qualities?
After reading many holocaust memoirs, I'm sure the that the story itself is a worthy read

An Incredible Journey
What did you like best about My Brother's Voice? What did you like least?
I didn't enjoy the author interview at the end of the book.
Would you be willing to try another book from Stephen Nasser and Sherry Rosenthal ? Why or why not?
Only if the subject was interesting enough to overcome my preference to avoid this narrator.
Was My Brother's Voice worth the listening time?
Yes. I'm always reading as much as I can about this period in history and enjoy hearing from all perspectives. However, this is not a title I would read again.
Any additional comments?
It is not for me to make any form of judgement about the story presented. However, some parts of the story appeared to me to be rather incredible. I realise that it was an extroadinary time and situation.
I'm afraid I grew weary of the repeated Self-praise.
