Summary

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.

Characters that come to life

A tragic and at times difficult listen as the horrors of the concentration camps is revealed. A beautifully told story with wonderful characters, interwoven to tell a dark tale from various perspectives within the camp. superbly narrated in an engaging style. An important listen as we are reminded to never forget.

Excellent read. Wanted it to go on longer.

Compulsive read. It gives a new slant on the sufferings and heroism of the prisoners of concentration camps.

The horrific writing of the tragedy of the holocaust.

Well written and well read - I could not stop reading - how was this allowed to happen - civilised humans knew this was happening- where was God ?

Awesome

Totally absorbing. Difficult to listen at times as you felt,you, yourself was in that camp suffering the same as the characters. So well written, felt like family. Shed many tears but a great audiobook. Didn't want it to end.
