Publisher's summary

A terrible darkness has fallen upon Jacob Weisz’s beloved Germany. The Nazi regime, under the leadership of Adolf Hitler, has surged to power and now hold Germany by the throat. All non-Aryans - especially Jews like Jacob and his family - are treated like dogs.

When tragedy strikes during one terrible night of violence, Jacob flees and joins rebel forces working to undermine the regime. But after a raid goes horribly wrong, Jacob finds himself in a living nightmare - trapped in a crowded, stinking car on the train to the Auschwitz death camp.

As World War II rages and Hitler begins implementing his "final solution" to systematically and ruthlessly exterminate the Jewish people, Jacob must rely on his wits and a God he’s not sure he believes in to somehow escape from Auschwitz and alert the world to the Nazi’s atrocities before Fascism overtakes all of Europe. The fate of millions hangs in the balance.

Excellent Story

I have read other Holocaust novels before and this one ranks among the best. There were some slow spots, but I thought the overall story was intriguing. In addition to the horrors of life in the concentration camps, there were the escape and aftermath of trying to get the world to listen. The narration was also very good.

Moving

It wasn't the most action packed but Joel knew how to keep the suspense. It was an awesome window into a horrible time in our history that we should never forget.

Could not put this down

This is a riveting story. One that you will remember. I had my husband read it and he was fixated until the very end as well.

Powerful story of the Holocaust

A powerful and deeply disturbing story of one man's spiritual journey as he survives and escapes the infamous Nazi death camp at Auschwitz. As challenging as the truth was to believe at the time, it is still difficult to absorb today. I'm thankful for this addition to the growing number of 20th century historical novels.

Captivating

What an articulate story. I cried, sat on the edge of my seat, prayed, and visualized different scenes throughout the narration. I'm at a loss for words to adequately describe how captivating this book is. You have to try it. You will not be disappointed.

A sad and shocking story

This was a new tilt to the WWII Concentration camp story. I thought the the characters were strong, and believable. The story feels authentic, and I would like to believe that such characters did exist. This was probably my favorite book from 2014. I would recommend it.

I usually don't take the time to write reviews but

This book is an excellent read. I usually do not write reviews but I had to say something. So compelling that I could not stop listening.
