I don't like rating books like this because it is based off of someone life/true events. I loved the story and it was told so well. These stories always tug at my heart

I am really in my memoir / non fiction era this year and I am loving it. I always rend to gravitate to WWII related books when I read historical fiction / non fiction. Joseph Bau a Holocaust survivor and artist tells his story through words and art.

Did you ever see Schindlers List? You know the scene where two of the prisoners in Plaszow Concentration camp get married? Well, that scene, that was an enactment of real life Joseph Bau and his wife Rebecca. This is a story of love, loss, fierceness and bravery.

An incredibly brave man to discuss what most certainly had to be the worst period of his life. It’s so difficult to hear what all of those people were put through. It is astounding the resilience of all of the survivors, they are truly heroes.

Joseph tells this stories through his drawings and takes the reader through the concentration camp, telling his story and exactly what he remembers. This was very powerful and eye opening. It is most definitely a must read!

I listened to this one via audiobook and it was narrated by Assaf Cohen. I would have loved to have the imagery right in front of me while reading to really enhance what I was hearing but overall it did not take away from my experience. I love how well this was narrated, highly recommend reading this one alongside the book for the picture purposes.

Overall, a must read for sure. A truly compelling and powerful story. Huge thank you to NetGalley, Joseph Bau and Blackstone Publishing for the ALC in exchange for my honest review.

My thanks to Net Galley and Blackstone Publishing for an advanced copy of this audiobook. It was so well done and narrated by Assaf Cohen. This true story of Joseph and Rebecca Bau from Poland who lived in the ghetto's and then Palszow Concentration Camp. They were secretly married in the camp, as depicted in Steven Spielberg's movie, Schindler's List.

The book, which I haven't seen, has Joseph Bau's art depicting the ghettos and camp they survived. This book shows the hope and love and even humor that they survived with during this horrific period of time. As many books as I've read on the Holocaust, there were still some new things I learned in this book

This was extremely hard to listen to I think a different narrator or something would help. I just think this is a book I would need to read in physical or ebook
