    This review was written for The Auschwitz Escape.
    Arrests. Imprisonments. Slave-labor camps. Torture beyond imagination. Mass murders. This was the Nazi-imposed fate for all Jews and all those protecting them. Word was spreading like wildfire throughout Europe.

    The warnings reached Jacob Weisz, and he resolved to join an underground resistance group. When a rescue operation went awry in April 1943, Jacob became one of hundreds of thousands shipped by train to concentration camps. Auschwitz — a place where the "ovens never stopped working and the chimney never stopped belching out its black, putrid smoke along with the ashes of human bodies that fell from the sky like snowflakes morning, noon and night." Mostly Jews.

    The volume of people brutally captured from their homes and shipped to death factories multiplied daily. As conditions worsened, Jacob found resolve and strength he did not know he had. "The Nazis had taken away his name, his clothes, his dignity. But only he could give away his will to fight, and he resolved not to do it." Close to 800 people had tried to escape. No one made it. Maybe he would!

    Life in a death camp changed Jacob. He used to be timid; now he had something to say and would risk his life to say it. He was determined to escape to expose the atrocities to Jewish and Allied leaders, if only to keep one more Jew from being sucked into the Nazi killing machine.

    This book was born from the author's visit to Auschwitz in 2011. Vivid characters, disturbing but realistic details, and compelling writing brings this horrific time in history to life. The book leaves the reader with the questions: Do I put this information back on the shelf of history, or do I look for ways to care for and protect the Jewish people today?

    Why should Christians care about the Jews? A couple who protected Jacob in his escape answered this way, "Our Savior was Jewish. His disciples were Jewish. They were born in Israel. They lived in the Promised Land. Jesus died on the cross in Jerusalem. He was raised from the dead in Jerusalem....and our Savior is coming back again to reign and rule from Jerusalem....You're from the same family and people as our Savior, Jacob."

    The Auschwitz Escape is an important part of the author's other writings, all focusing on the dangers the nation and people of Israel face in the world. The parallels between this 1940's European context and the present-day Middle East perils are crucial to understand as humanity faces the potential of another holocaust. Every world leader and citizen should read this book.

    This was a fantastic, yet sobering read. Rosenberg has again written a masterpiece of a story, this time about the death camp at Auschwitz. Although the story is fictional, it is based on real events and people. I was again horrified as I read of the atrocities done on so many Jews by a madman determined to wipe all Jews off the face of the earth.

    I again found myself wondering how so much of the world sat idly by as these events happened. I wondered why the USA didn't intervene sooner.

    This was a book that was hard to read. While it described some terrible things that were done at the death camp, it was also interesting and gripping. I liked the characters he created who had to daily deal with the trials of living in a death camp that was intended to kill them all. I saw how evil can so easily prosper when good men do nothing. I saw how easily people can be convinced that evil politicians are not up to no good, when indeed they are.

    Although this is a fictional book, it should be a warning to us all that our own country could be that way some day. We are headed there more and more each day, and just like there were people back then who did not believe the things they heard, there are countless people today who refuse to hear the bad thing they favorite politician has done and is up to. It is true we are bound to repeat history if we do not repeat it.

    This was a darker read than I normally enjoy, but it was definitely worth reading, and I highly recommend it.

    Joel Rosenberg has never disappointed me with his Books. "The Auschwitz Escape" is no exception. I couldn't put it down. Joel's story is spellbinding, It is as though you are one of the characters involved.

    "NEVER AGAIN" should make sense to those that have forgotten or didn't know the history of

    Adolph Hitler's 'the final solution'

    This book was incredible from page 1 to the very end. The story draws you in and will not let go. This is one of those works of literature that never leaves your mind or your heart. Very well written.

    Strong writing as expected from great veteran writer Rosenberg who is known for his modern stories of conflict between the West and the Muslim zealots. A first foray into historical fiction, this is well-researched, plausible, and riveting. One of those books that you can't put down!
