Publisher's summary

The only way you’ll leave Auschwitz is through the chimney.

The words still rang in Agnes Markx’s head as she left the Judenramp and the hive of activity around the train behind. As a nurse assigned to Block 10, she realizes the stories of the horrors transpiring here weren’t exaggerated. Now an unwilling accomplice in the Nazi doctors’ medical experiments, she vows to save as many women under her care as possible.

Electrician Joel Kozak has access to all areas of the gargantuan camp. When the underground camp resistance reaches out to him one day, he discovers his appointment wasn’t by accident.

As a stoker in Birkenau’s crematoria, Samson Tarski witnesses more death in an hour than most people in a lifetime. The thought of stepping into the gas chambers and ending his struggle is always on his mind. But when one of his friends shares a bold plan to rise up and destroy the buildings of death, he finds a renewed sense of purpose.

These three strangers are now part of an attempt to achieve the impossible without knowing each other.

To rise up, destroy the Auschwitz-Birkenau death factory, and escape to tell the world about it.

Based on actual events, Tracks to Freedom is a story of bravery and the battle to retain one’s humanity in a place where there is none.

Enlightening

I loved the story. Horrendous tale of truth during the holocaust. Did not enjoy the narrator that much- too monotone to my liking.

Disturbing yet needed

As disturbing as the story is, the least we can do is acknowledge the atrocities and never forget. The sparks of courage showcase the strength of the human spirit. My only criticism is the robotic voice of the narrator. Thank you, Michael.

the fact of the history. I appreciate while the story based on facts it did not get to graphic

I felt the one narrator was speaking to a group of school children. the story and history kept me interested so I listen to the end. Michael did his research to present a true historical fiction novel.

Holding my breath

This book was much better than book 1 of this trilogy…this story offered more details about the characters and their lives. It was action packed and left you holding your breath…hoping for the best🙏🏼although deep down you knew how it would end.

Great story but awful narration

In the beginning I almost gave up on this book because of the narrator. I found him to be monotone, stilted and unemotional. But I’m very glad I did not! This was a gripping tale of brutality, love and defiance and the determination of a few for the betterment of many. You should read it!
