Description

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.

Excellent performance

This well written and very detailed firsthand account of the Holocaust was made given the performance it deserved. The account was read with emotion without being emotional, and made listening to such a heavy subject more bearable.

Heart breaking

It’s so insane to think these happenings were less than 100 years ago. My only hope is that people REALLY listen to his triumphant story of escape and pay attention so these happenings aren’t repeated.

Very well told.

This book was a very in-depth and eye-opening reality check on what happened with the Nazi concentration camps in Auschwitz.

First hand reports

Vrba didn’t just “see” Auschwitz and escape with a few stories, he survived it for years and saw SO MUCH. This is the most important book on Auschwitz as it lays it all out, what they were up to, and what took place, in detail. This is the man who escaped to tell the world, so his voice has weight. At first they didn’t believe him, but eventually they did. He managed to shock and get the attention of Churchill, Roosevelt and the Pope. His words made a difference. A brutally difficult listen, but so important.
There are three appendices that I didn’t listen to, containing his first report and more. I was at capacity.

I escaped from Auschwitz

This was an astonishing book. Although I am not Jewish, my parents migrated from Poland to Canada in the early 1930s. it is horrifying to think that our family or our neighbors might have been captured and taken to a place like Auschwitz: every person needs to hear the first hand account of the experiences. One simply has to look at what is happening around the world currently to appreciate how important it is to know what happened and what might happen again. Do listen to this book and discuss it with your family.

Best story from the Holocaust I’ve ever read!

I’ve read and listened to a lot of holocaust memoirs but this one was hard to stop listening to. I had heard the story on TV about this escape but the detail the book goes into is so much better. At first I wasn’t crazy about the narrator but as time went in I realized he was perfect for the story. I highly recommend this true story about one of the very few successful escapes from Auschwitz concentration camp! The detail and depth of the writing is incredible. For example:
“Wearily, he held
out his hand. Immediately, a soldier
handed him a short truncheon. The two soldiers who had been
standing behind me forced me back onto a table, and then he
went to work on my face with an efficiency that made the
earlier efforts of his subordinates seem amateurish, wasteful.
The blows sliced into my face
short, savage blows that
fell with the monotonous regularity of the questions. Names
and addresses trickled to the tip of my tongue only to be sent
scurrying back again by some force in my mind that I did not
know existed.
"You're a spy! Who are your friends? Where do they live?"…….

I couldn’t stop listening. Yes, its a long book but, you dont want it to end.

Incredible account

The details of survival, pain, and the unthinkable are so well written (and narrated), you would think it was fiction. Upon gaining freedom, I was expecting to hear better stories than that of the disappointment I felt hearing that the reports of what was really taking place in the camps fell on deaf ears.

brought more understanding

The story is fascinating, a bit redundant. I now see why the Jewish people went without more resistance. The deception was so great. I find human behavior appalling.

Amazingly detailed

An in depth recounting of an incredible escape from Auschwitz. I have read many accounts of this escape but never all the details of it. Rather incredible how it was done even more incredible that these two men were not recaptured. They made it and,as they intended, warned the Jewish community of Hungary of their forth coming fate at the hands of the Nazis. This begs the question. Why, after being warned and given proof, were so many Hungarian Jews murdered in the gas chambers of Auschwitz? I guess that is a story for another book. This is an excellent book, very informative, easy to listen to and extremely well narrated. My only problem with the narration was minor and that was the volume of the narrator. I wish he had spoken a bit louder. Had to listen with headphones which I do not like to do but, as I said, that was very minor. Highly recommended for anyone interested in the Holocaust or World War Two.

HORRIFIC

The most horrific atrocities of Auschwitz are recounted in this book. How anyone can still deny the Holocaust is beyond comprehension. The detail and data provided by a bona fide Auschwitz registrar who escaped the notorious concentration camp are indelible proof that such evil should never be allowed again!

Great story, horrible narration

Wow, just wow. Hard to believe that people can be so incredibly horrible. Couldn't stop listening to this book, it was fantastic. I have to say that the narration was awful though. Narrator would pause in the oddest spots. That really throws the listener off and was very irritating while trying to listen to such a great story.

Beautifully written and read

I truly loved the story of survival and personal in-site into a world that we to this day can’t believe, but know are 100% true! The things humans are capable of doing to others still shock me!
