About this listen

He has endured more than any child ever should, but now he must survive Block 66.

January, 1945. Fourteen-year-old Moshe Kessler steps off the train at Buchenwald concentration camp with several hundred other children. Having endured the horrors of Auschwitz-Birkenau, lost touch with his entire family, and survived the death march in the freezing European winter, Moshe has seen more than his share of tragedy.

At Buchenwald, the new arrivals are assigned to their barracks. Kinder Block 66 is to be Moshe’s new home, but he doesn’t yet realize just how significant this placing will turn out to be. For just a short time later, the Germans decide to destroy the camp and send its remaining inmates to the death march once more—but they are not prepared for Buchenwald’s secret resistance, which rises up with one mission: to protect the camp’s children from harm.

This is the incredible true story of Moshe Kessler and Block 66—the children’s block that was at the forefront of one of the most shocking and inspiring stories of Holocaust survival.

The story was told from the author’s personal experience.

I disliked the narrator’s voice.
The author generalized/stereotyped the Gentiles living in his village. He considered all of them lazy, worthless, etc.

The title

Too hard to pick out one thing
Very revealing. I can’t understand how someone can say it didn’t happen.

Very good!

A sad and disturbing story of a teen survivor of the Holocaust. The narrative was concise and the reader add the right amount of empathy and sympathy to the story.

Defending Peace and Happiness

Thank you to Limor Regev and Moshe Kessler for having the courage to share this story with the world. I understand, so much better now, the hatred and love of mankind. I hope that more and more people will continue to do all they can to share peace and choose joy.

What a travesty of such reading for a story that deserves so much more in the telling

Why is it that for such a well-written, moving, historical novel could you not find a narrator who would at least pronounce the names, places, and other Jewish practices correctly? Who there decided that this reader was appropriate for this book?

I think this narrator’s reading might work well for other vehicles— but not this one. He is meant for other genres, I think. His narration lacks too much depth or feeling for the subject matter.

This story is not simply a list of facts to be read. It is far more. This narrator missed the mark for this book completely.

How I would love to hear it again with a different voice.

Better Understanding

I am 65 yrs old. My mother is Jewish. This book helped me to better understand why the state of Israel is so important to the Jewish people. Never again will they be physically removed from their homes because of their religion.

Review from a child’s perspective.

The author took us back through his life and the narrator conveyed the emotions excellently of the author. Glad I got this book as it was also on my Amazon wish list for the actual book, this was way better.
