"The Brothers of Auschwitz" by Malka Adler is an emotional roller coaster. I have read dozens of books similar to this one, but none has ever made me feel the way this one did. The writing was so descriptive, it was almost like reading a stream of consciousness where you are sitting across from Dov or Yitzak and they are just letting their stories come out. Even though the brothers are fictional characters, the events they lived through and the experiences they had were very real for millions of people, and they became very real to me as well. This book does not hold anything back and it is really hard to read at times. The author has an amazing talent for painting a picture of the camps that you can't help but feel the raw tangles of emotion, terror, helplessness...and courage that the real victims must have felt. Unlike most books that deal with this subject, this book did not end when the camps were liberated; instead the author described the lingering PTSD effects on the characters after they were safe. I think this is an important aspect that is missing from many similar books-the horrors did not end for the victims just because the war ended. This book should be required reading in history class. Those who do not remember the past are doomed to repeat it and I fear that the real horrors of this period of history are being whitewashed and trivialized.

Thank you so much to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for the privilege of reading an advanced copy of this important book.

A fascinating historical novel that made me think and feel. The characters were well drawn and some of them drew quite a bit of sympathy.

The tale of the suffering of two Jewish brothers
This Holocaust story is heartbreaking. It is brutal at times and hard to read. The emotions are extreme and realistic.

It was a terrible time in history and the atrocities against the Jewish people are unforgivable. Hitler caused so much pain and suffering for so many. These brothers went through so much, I am glad they found each other again. It was sad to see how the non Jewish treated them and that someone took their home.

Not only was the pain and suffering inflicted at the time in Auschwitz, and the other camps, but it is a hurt that they will forever carry with them and they will never forget, nor should we thus it be repeated in history.

It was written in a prose like writing which was a bit hard to follow, but it was a good story and it needed to be told.

Thanks to the Malka Adler, Harper Collins UK, One More Chapter publishing, and NetGalley for allowing me to read an advance copy.

I like to read books that are historical fiction and based on true events, especially the Holocaust.

This book was no exception BUT the writing style was not for me. I couldn't engage. Ma be a little bit later I can try again.

Thank you at Netgalley and publisher for this digital ARC in exchange for my review.

The Brothers of Auschwitz by Malka Adler is a stunning, harrowing, and heartbreaking experience. Yes, it is historical fiction, but the main characters (two brothers Dov and Yitzhak) were actually inspired by true victims (and survivors) of the Holocaust. It is even more gut wrenching to know she also drew from her own father’s experiences as well.

I cried several times as my heart went out to all the lives suffered and lost. It should have never happened. I am so grateful for Ms. Adler’s story to help give a voice to all of the innocent souls that were permanently affected during this unforgivable time.

Thank you NetGalley and One More Chapter for this ARC and in return I am submitting my unbiased and voluntary review and opinion.

I am submitting this review to my GR account immediately and will post it to my Amazon, Bookbub, and B&N accounts upon publication.

The Brothers of Auschwitz is an emotional,harrowing and heartbreaking account of what Dov and Yitzak had to live through.I have never been able to comprehend what these people went through and it still has me sitting here thinking of the lives lost because of one man.The torment and hell that Dov and Yitzak went through is hard to take in.I thank Dov and Yitzak for their story and if i could i would give it more than 5*.

Thankyou to NetGalley. HarperCollins UK, One More Chapter and the author, Malka Adler, for the opportunity to read an advanced readers copy of The Brothers of Auschwitz in exchange for an honest and unbiased opinion.
I am sitting here, stunned, after finishing this book. It was so incredibly harrowing, heartfelt and heartbreaking. To know that the events in this book were a reality is beyond comprehension.
I really can't give an honest opinion on this book. I could never hope to give it the justice it truly deserves.
Finally, thankyou to Dov and Yitzhak, for sharing your story.
Highly recommended
