À propos de cet audio

From Kisvárda to Canada: My Mother’s Holocaust Journey, author Brian Claman documents the true story of his mother, Maria (Mary) Katz Claman, a Hungarian Jewish teenager deported from Kisvárda to Auschwitz-Birkenau in June 1944. Tattooed with number A12064, she survived Auschwitz, forced labor at HASAG-Altenburg, a death march, and liberation in 1945.

This edition is based entirely on verifiable sources, including her USC Shoah Foundation testimony (No. 32345), the Arolsen Archives, Yad Vashem, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, and AJDC records. No detail is imagined or embellished.

The book follows Mary’s life from childhood in prewar Hungary through the Holocaust and her postwar recovery in Canada. It combines survivor testimony with historical documentation to present a faithful, factual record of one woman’s endurance amid genocide.

Mary and her sister Suzanne were later registered at the Prien am Chiemsee displaced persons camp and immigrated to Canada in 1948. In Montreal, Mary rebuilt her life, married Abraham Claman, and raised three children, preserving a legacy that the Nazis tried to erase.

Written with clarity and restraint, this book is both a son’s tribute and a historical document. It stands as an educational resource for listeners, students, and museums devoted to Holocaust remembrance and as a reminder that truth and memory must outlast denial.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

A powerful and meticulously documented Holocaust memoir that stands apart for its accuracy and discipline. The author presents his mother’s testimony alongside archival records, DP camp documents, and immigration files, allowing the listener to understand not only what happened to one family but how the broader machinery of deportation, forced labor, and survival unfolded. The narrative avoids dramatization and stays grounded in verifiable facts, which gives it more impact rather than less.

The inclusion of the Shoah Foundation testimony transcript adds authenticity and historical value. The material on Auschwitz Birkenau, HASAG Altenburg, and the displaced persons period is clear, chronological, and evidence based. It also connects to present concerns such as rising antisemitism and renewed Holocaust distortion, which makes the book feel urgent and relevant without being ideological.

The narration is restrained and respectful, matching the tone of the material. The supplemental PDF with appendices and documents is a major asset and helps contextualize the testimony for readers who care about historical accuracy.

An important contribution to survivor literature and a reminder of why evidence and documentation matter. Highly recommended for listeners who want more than anecdote and are looking for a credible historical record.
