Impossible Escape: A True Story of Survival and Heroism in Nazi Europe | Steve Sheinkin

4.75⭐
𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐒⇩
-This was very hard-hitting, yet it managed to stay YA without compromising its truth.
-This is, quite possibly, the perfect non-fiction story for people who don‘t usually like non-fiction.
𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐒⇩
-Not necessarily a con but the cover suggests that this has romance but it really doesn‘t.
-Gerta‘s story didn‘t have the gravitation that Rudy‘s did and she often felt like an afterthought.

Rudolf Vrba/Walter Rosenberg, was the first of 60,000 Jews who were deported from Slovakia between March and October 1942. He was the first to escape the hell of Auschwitz and just one of only four to do so. His friend Fred Wetzler escaped with him. Walter was caught and taken to Majdanek and was there for twelve days; from there he went to Auschwitz, having heard of something better called ‘Kanada‘. He had no idea what nightmares awaited⬇️

JenniferEgnor him. He would be at Auschwitz and Birkenau for 10 months. There, he was tattooed as 44070. He was only 18 when this all began. Forced to bear witness and take part in unspeakable things, he was determined to get out. He committed names, numbers, dates, maps, and much more to his memory. After their escape, he began to spread the word of what was happening there. It was called ‘The Auschwitz Report‘; and most did not believe him. The⬇️ 10mo
JenniferEgnor Hungarian Jews would be next on the Alte Judenrampe and he was desperate to try and stop it. His efforts saved 200,000 lives. He and Fred went on to piece their lives back together; neither were ever the same. A horrifying and necessary read. I learned about things that happened within Auschwitz here, that I did not know. At times I had to stop and just take a breath. Fascism has never gone away but was left to metastasize and we are seeing⬇️ 10mo
JenniferEgnor it begin to take hold in many places around the world. We are in America, but, please remember that it CAN happen here. It HAS happened here. In the 1930s America had its own Nazi Party. And now, it is coming back again. Do not stand by and let it happen. Walter‘s story is a testament and warning to all of us: If you see/hear something, SAY something, DO something! Shown: an exhibit from the Holocaust Museum in Washington DC. I was there⬇️ 10mo

JenniferEgnor last year and it was incredibly difficult. I recommend that everyone go see it. Follow ADL, SPLC to stay informed about hate groups. (edited) 10mo

Fascinating, detailed true story. (There are some sections you don‘t want to be eating anything 😞).
The overall lesson from these tellings is that we don‘t learn from history, and we carry on killing people thinking it solves things. It never has, nor will it.
