This is a Summary & Analysis of The Auschwitz by Joel C. Rosenberg.
Readers don't have to already know every detail of the Holocaust to be able to follow "The Auschwitz Escape." Joel C.

Imagine being pulled away from your family, friends, home and all of your personal belongings, put on a train and giving up even the most basic rights to sanitation. That was what author Joel C. Rosenberg helped readers imagine during "The Auschwitz Escape." Trains are sent to Auschwitz, and The Resistance is formed to relentlessly slow down Hitler's plans. Some characters don't make it. A few escape. Many try to help others escape. And there are those who never give up, even when death is looking them in the face.

The Auschwitz Escape
By: Joel C. Rosenberg
A horrible time in history, but the resistance movement kept on working to try and stop Hitler. The pace my have been slow, but I'm sure escape plans took a good amount of time to plan. Even then there was no guarantee of success.
A gripping story that makes the listener think of what millions of people went through.
The narration was well done. The characters were well portrayed. : Christopher Lane takes the listener into the heart. of the story.

This book is phenomenal, very detailed, and scary. MIght be inappropriate for younger viewers, involves gas chamber details.

We need to know what happened in the extermination camps. How could the German Army and leaders have allowed themselves to be sucked into the horror they supported? How did Hitler successfully push his twisted thinking into a country’s goal? Two young men from different countries end up in Auschwitz. These two young men survive and the years of their nightmare is told in minute detail. How unlikely they would escape to let the world know what was reality at the ‘work camps.’ And how devastating that world powers moved so slowly to stem the murderous tide when they found out. All was not lost when all was lost. 9 out of 10.
