The Thief of Auschwitz

By: Jon Clinch

Narrated by: Paul Hecht, Edoardo Ballerini

Told in two intertwining narratives, The Thief of Auschwitz takes readers on a dual journey: one into the death camp at Auschwitz with Jacob, Eidel, Max, and Lydia Rosen; the other into the heart of Max himself, now an aged but extremely vital - and outspoken - survivor. Max is a world-renowned painter, and he's about to be honored with a retrospective at the National Gallery in Washington. The truth, though, is that he's been keeping a crucial secret from the art world - indeed from the world at large, and perhaps even from himself - all his life long.

The Thief of Auschwitz reveals that secret, along with others that lie in the heart of a family that’s called upon to endure - together and separately - the unendurable.

Well written, well narrated

The excellent narration is perfect for this well told story. Jon Clinch is a great crafter of stories and this one is an great example of his skill. It pulls you inside and makes you feel like a participant in the concentration camp.
