Yaron Reshef
Acerca de esta escucha
An unexpected phone call hurls Reshef into an intensive two-year journey, during which he has to solve a mystery that took shape in the 1930s and gradually unfolded in the present. A mysterious lot, a forgotten bank account, a people long gone - along with their memory which were obliterated during the Holocaust. All of these rise to the surface, bearing with them memories and emotions previously hidden away in the shoebox.
"I had no intention of writing a book. I had no need to write a story in general nor a story about my family and the Holocaust in particular. But life being what it is, sometimes things happen in mysterious, even surprising ways. Stuff that used to take center stage moves to the background, and background stuff moves downstage and center. That's what happened in my case." (Yaron Reshef)

In Nazi-occupied Poland, Sofia cannot look her father in the eye. Sofia’s mother, her papa’s cherished wife, is Jewish—how dare he work as a doctor for the SS? She cannot forgive him, even if the bargain was made to spare their lives. In the middle of the night, Isaac emerges from a packed train with hundreds of others. Beneath Auschwitz’s barbed wire, the SS decide prisoners’ fates on the spot—and Isaac is chosen to work. Every breath feels like it could be Isaac’s last, so when he sees a beautiful auburn-haired girl peering out of the farm window, it feels like a dream.

Years after her grandfather's death, journalist Sarah Wildman stumbled upon a cache of his letters in a file labeled "Correspondence: Patients A-G". What she found inside weren't dry medical histories; instead what was written opened a path into the destroyed world that was her family's prewar Vienna. One woman's letters stood out: those from Valy-Valerie Scheftel, her grandfather's lover who remained behind when he fled Europe six months after the Nazis annexed Austria.

Inheritance is an audiobook about secrets - secrets within families, kept out of shame or self-protectiveness; secrets we keep from one another in the name of love. It is the story of a woman's urgent quest to unlock the story of her own identity, a story that has been scrupulously hidden from her for more than 50 years, years she had spent writing brilliantly, and compulsively, on themes of identity and family history.

The air is stuffy, carrying the scent of our terror—none of us know what awaits us when this train stops. I cling onto Mama’s hand and Nora, my twin sister, clutches Papa’s.

As a child, Eunsun loved her country...despite her school field trips to public executions, daily self-criticism sessions, and the increasing gnaw of hunger as the countrywide famine escalated. By the time she was 11 years old, Eunsun's father and grandparents had died of starvation, and Eunsun too was in danger of starving. Finally her mother decided to escape North Korea with Eunsun and her sister.

Fascinating
- De ayodele higgs en 01-27-16
The book unfolds like an excellent detective story, revealing facts and occurrences one after the other.
The narration is done very sensitively; it is accurate and preserves the spirit of Yaron's story.
The story comprises of several layers: the family history, the Holocaust, the thirties in Israel - Palestine and Ukraine of today, which makes it even more authentic and interesting.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would recommend this book to anyone looking for something unexpected. The writing is very detailed and the narrator's voice is a perfect fit. At first, I was hesitant. The story seemed so trivial to me - why would someone write this? The first few chapters were long until more and more details of the mystery began to emerge and I realized the magnitude behind Yaron's history. What an unexpectedly beautiful book.What was one of the most memorable moments of Out of the Shoebox?
The most memorable moment of Out of the Shoebox to me was the ending where all the pieces to Yaron's puzzle fit together. It made me want to dig into my own family history (although nothing compared to Yaron's)... and I cried.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
This book made me cry and swell with emotion. I felt like I was following his adventure right along with him.Unexpected.
