Tracks to Freedom

Beyond the Tracks

By: Michael Reit

Narrated by: John Maddaloni

The only way you’ll leave Auschwitz is through the chimney.

The words still rang in Agnes Markx’s head as she left the Judenramp and the hive of activity around the train behind. As a nurse assigned to Block 10, she realizes the stories of the horrors transpiring here weren’t exaggerated. Now an unwilling accomplice in the Nazi doctors’ medical experiments, she vows to save as many women under her care as possible.

Electrician Joel Kozak has access to all areas of the gargantuan camp. When the underground camp resistance reaches out to him one day, he discovers his appointment wasn’t by accident.

As a stoker in Birkenau’s crematoria, Samson Tarski witnesses more death in an hour than most people in a lifetime. The thought of stepping into the gas chambers and ending his struggle is always on his mind. But when one of his friends shares a bold plan to rise up and destroy the buildings of death, he finds a renewed sense of purpose.

These three strangers are now part of an attempt to achieve the impossible without knowing each other.

To rise up, destroy the Auschwitz-Birkenau death factory, and escape to tell the world about it.

Based on actual events, Tracks to Freedom is a story of bravery and the battle to retain one’s humanity in a place where there is none.

Great read!!

I stumbled upon this writer and have enjoyed every book he has available on audible.

Strength and Courage

Captivating characters and story Sadness this is part of human history Humanity at its best and worst

Based on reality

The way it held your interest and knowing it would keep these crimes real, so it can never be denied. I had German friends that actually tried to convince us that the German population didn’t know about these things. I reminded her of the diary of Anne Frank

Captivating at Every Chapter

I listened to this in 2.5 days. Such a good story and I can’t wait to listen to the next one.

Great story but awful narration

In the beginning I almost gave up on this book because of the narrator. I found him to be monotone, stilted and unemotional. But I’m very glad I did not! This was a gripping tale of brutality, love and defiance and the determination of a few for the betterment of many. You should read it!
