Auschwitz Escape


The Auschwitz Escape by Joel C Rosenberg
468 Pages

This is the story of Jacob Weisz and his experience through World War II and the Auschwitz concentration camp.  When Jacob is swept up in the genocide of the Germans during World War II he becomes involved in a plot to escape Auschwitz and let the world know of the atrocities taking place.  

This was recommended to me by a patron and the best way I can described the book is it is as if James Patterson had written a book about Auschwitz.  While it is based upon an array of true stories, you don't get emotionally invested with any of the characters and Rosenberg fails to convey the true horror of the situation.  It becomes a thriller set during World War II.
