Publisher's Summary

Berlin, 1938

It’s no longer safe here.

When the Jewish families of Berlin start disappearing in nightly raids, 21-year-old Jacob Kagan knows it’s only a matter of time before the trucks come for him. Along with his family and best friend, he flees the country he’s always called home to find shelter in a Dutch refugee camp. Before long, the Netherlands falls to the Nazi war machine - Jacob’s new home is transformed into a transit camp with weekly trains bound for the horrors of the Eastern concentration camps.

Handpicked by the cruel new SS regime to police the camp’s Jewish population, Jacob has the opportunity to save his parents and best friend from the dreaded transport lists - but at what cost?

Based on true events, Beyond the Tracks is a redemptive story of unconditional loyalty, and a will to survive at impossible odds.

I was right there with the characters

So well written it was like a visual in my mind. I felt like I was right there alongside the characters. This would make a great movie and I think the author should summit it as one!

Amazing story

Coming from a Dutch heritage and hearing stories from my parents, this book was an amazing read. I felt a connection with the characters. I was surprised to hear about a camp in the Netherlands itself. Thank you
