The Stunning and Emotional Autobiography of an Auschwitz Survivor
April 7, 1944 - This date marks the successful escape of two Slovak prisoners from one of the most heavily-guarded and notorious concentration camps of Nazi Germany. The escapees, Rudolf Vrba and Alfred Wetzler, fled over 100 miles to be the first to give the graphic and detailed descriptions of the atrocities of Auschwitz.
Originally published in the early 1960s, I Escaped from Auschwitz is the striking autobiography of none other than Rudolf Vrba himself. Vrba details his life leading up to, during, and after his escape from his 21-month internment in Auschwitz. Vrba and Wetzler manage to evade Nazi authorities looking for them and make contact with the Jewish council in Zilina, Slovakia, informing them about the truth of the "unknown destination" of Jewish deportees all across Europe. This first-hand report alerted Western authorities, such as Pope Pius XII, Winston Churchill, and Franklin D. Roosevelt, to the reality of Nazi annihilation camps - information that until then had only been recognized as nasty rumors.

The narrator made this story all too real. His cadence and diction were warm, careful and thoughtful in the delivery of the horrific facts.
This book is now a part of me, and I am grateful to Mr Vrba for allowing me to carry his story onto another generation.

Very well told.

I’d highly recommend this one, but it is utterly heartbreaking and shocking - so be warned!
Side note: for the narration, and this may be more a personal preference, I didn’t like the - what felt at times to be over acting with the emotions. As a reader/listener I prefer to add my own emotion to the text
Truly shocking and amazing

There are three appendices that I didn’t listen to, containing his first report and more. I was at capacity.
