About this listen
Winner of a Jewish National Book Award for his previous book, Walking Israel, NBC Special Correspondent Martin Fletcher uses meticulous research and his own family’s history in this stunning novel.
Dramatizing explosive events in London and Palestine in the years directly following World War II, The List follows the lives of Edith and Georg, Austrian refugees who are expecting their first baby in a world unfriendly to Jews. Anti-Semitism sweeps across the streets of London even as the world learns of the atrocities of the Holocaust. As Edith and Georg desperately search for surviving family members, they struggle to stay afloat in a world riddled with terrorism, assassination attempts, and fear.

Swept up as a child in the events of Nazi-era Europe, Ruth Kluger saw her family's comfortable Vienna existence systematically undermined and destroyed. By age 11, she had been deported, along with her mother, to Theresienstadt, the first in a series of concentration camps that would become the setting for her precarious childhood. Interwoven with blunt, unsparing observations of childhood and nuanced reflections of an adult who has spent a lifetime thinking about the Holocaust, Still Alive rejects all easy assumptions about history, both political and personal.

BRILLIANT, YOUNG AND AMBITIOUS, Annika Tritzchler defies the norms of 1930s Berlin by pursuing medical training in a venue traditionally dominated by men.

Annika's career takes a decisive turn when, early in her psychiatric residency, she is expected to participate in applied eugenics- the roguish trend within Nazi medicine. Sterilizing patients deemed racially inferior and euthanizing the handicapped (including patients that she, ...

There were so many terrifying stories about the Jews. People called them useless vermin, filthy, dangerous. Before I met Abram, I was afraid of them, too. But I am about to tell you a very different story—a forbidden story. My love for Abram defied all reason...as well as German law. Tonight our son giggles with excitement as he blows out the candles on his birthday cake. But our safety is nothing but an illusion. As his candles burn out, a window shatters outside. The room shudders as the synagogue down the street is engulfed in flames.

Painful at Times to Listen
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
One starts on V.E. day and is the story of a young Jewish couple living in London. They are awaiting the birth of their first baby while trying to uncover the fate of their relatives. Just about everyone died in the camps, except for maybe her father… the search begins…
The second is about a group of Jewish terrorists in Palestine. Try as I might, I just could not get into this plot, I was just not interested. (I kept expecting Gabriel Allon to make an appearance! LOL)
What I did find interesting was the storyline about how the local Londoners wanted to expel the Jews in order to make room for their troops returning home. They were seen as usurpers by some people and there was a lot of negative sentiment towards them. I never considered that before and I found it particularly relevant. That kind of sentiment is still alive and well today: consider foreign workers in the food industry like Mexican fruit pickers in the United States or Eastern Europeans waiting tables in Western Europe and the UK.
I found the book just ok overall and it was too slow moving for my mood.
