Eva's Story

A Survivor's Tale by the Stepsister of Anne Frank

By: Eva Schloss, Evelyn Julia Kent

Narrated by: Ann Richardson

Many know the tragic story of Anne Frank, the teen whose life ended at Auschwitz during the Holocaust. But most people don’t know about Eva Schloss, Anne’s playmate and stepsister.

Though Eva, like Anne, was taken to Auschwitz at the age of 15, her story did not end there.

This incredible memoir recounts - without bitterness or hatred - the horrors of war, the love between mother and daughter, and the strength and determination that helped a family overcome danger and tragedy.

Eva's Story: A Survivor's Tale by the Stepsister of Anne Frank
: Eva Schloss, Evelyn Julia Kent

This audiobook is supposed to take up the Holocaust story where Anne Frank's diary ended. The author knew Anne as a child, then after the war her mother married Anne's father. That was something I didn't know. Very detailed descriptions of life during the war.



The narration was well done, by Ann Richardson.

Everyone should read this book.

It is a shame that the people who should listen to this Audio book never will since they do not care.

The lessons from The Holocaust will never get old and we who hope the memory of its victims will never be forgotten.All of us should hope it changes the behavior of those who simply can not stop hating others who are different from them.

The Narrator had a soft and sensitive performance that was perfect for this book.


This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

Wonderful, sad, uplifting heartwarming story!

It's hard to know what to say about this story. When Eva is describing her family life, parts of it made me smile. However, when she described the horrors she went through, it made me cry knowing this was more than just a fictional story, but actually happened. The narrator was great, bringing the story to life, and narrating with emotion. Even though, it was horrible, and dreadful, Eva manages to inject some hope and be thankful for the little things that happened. I also thought the interview at the end was a wonderful touch. Will be reading her other book that's available in audio soon. I would highly recommend this book, and I hope people read this and learn something.

Eva’s Story

Eva Schloss posthumously became Anne Frank’s stepsister in postwar years, when her mother married Otto Frank. And while that connection may be what draws us in as readers, “Eva’s Story” is very much its own story, quite different from Anne’s.
Anne herself shows up minimally in early chapters, and her diary shows up in the later chapters, but the bulk of the book is about Eva and her mother, as concentration camp prisoners.
The interesting thing about a memoir such as this is that even though it has similarities to other works, instead of seeming like a repeat it feels like a unique, rich, powerful addition to the bigger story of the Holocaust.
I received a free copy of the audiobook version of “Eva’s Story” from the publisher, in exchange for writing this review, and I can say that I am glad to have received it and to have listened to it.
