Evil, unchecked, is the prelude to genocide.

As the Nazi war machine rolls across Europe, young Jacob Weisz is forced to flee his beloved Germany and join an underground resistance group in Belgium. But when a rescue operation goes horribly wrong, Jacob finds himself trapped in a crowded cattle car headed to southern Poland.

Sentenced to hard labor in the Auschwitz labor camp, Jacob forms an unlikely alliance with Jean-Luc Leclerc, a former assistant pastor who was imprisoned for helping Jews. They've been chosen for one of the most daring and dangerous feats imaginable--escape from Auschwitz. With no regard for their own safety, they must make it to the West and alert the Allies to the awful truth of what is happening in Poland before Fascism overtakes all of Europe. The fate of millions hangs in the balance.

Customer Reviews

The Auschwitz Escape was an awesome book!

This book is for serious readers only, and gives a profound story of the horrors done by German soldiers to the Jewish people during world War Two. I had a hard time putting it down; it held my attention to the very end. An excellent and well-written book about the atrocities of war.

Keeps you on the edge of your seat.

This book was excellent!! I could not put it down. Want an amazing job the author did of making you feel you were right there at Auschwitz and experiencing the awful atrocities these individuals went through. So sad that this is history and the Jews were punished just for being Jewish.

I just loved this book! It made me cry so hard, though 😭

I just love history books, and this book well passed the test of my “favorite” book catigory. It was very well written, and I am immediately buying this book!!! Samantha
