Story
For half a century, a terrible secret lay hidden, locked in a trunk in an attic... photos, official documents, and scraps of a diary written by a young girl. "The time has come when I must share my life story... some facts from the past that could make a contribution, however small it may be, to the history of mankind." The Secret Holocaust Diaries is a haunting eyewitness account of Nonna Lisowskaja Bannister, a remarkable Russian-American woman who saw and survived unspeakable evils as a young girl.

Publisher's Summary
The Stunning and Emotional Autobiography of an Auschwitz Survivor
April 7, 1944 - This date marks the successful escape of two Slovak prisoners from one of the most heavily-guarded and notorious concentration camps of Nazi Germany. The escapees, Rudolf Vrba and Alfred Wetzler, fled over 100 miles to be the first to give the graphic and detailed descriptions of the atrocities of Auschwitz.
Originally published in the early 1960s, I Escaped from Auschwitz is the striking autobiography of none other than Rudolf Vrba himself. Vrba details his life leading up to, during, and after his escape from his 21-month internment in Auschwitz. Vrba and Wetzler manage to evade Nazi authorities looking for them and make contact with the Jewish council in Zilina, Slovakia, informing them about the truth of the "unknown destination" of Jewish deportees all across Europe. This first-hand report alerted Western authorities, such as Pope Pius XII, Winston Churchill, and Franklin D. Roosevelt, to the reality of Nazi annihilation camps - information that until then had only been recognized as nasty rumors.

Above average
Story is good but could have been written a bit better and the narrator delivered this slow and not enthusiastic at the times where it should have been. Story could have been relayed better. But good story.

Is this a movie?
This story should be made into a movie if it hasn't already. I was hooked. I am intrigued by all of these different stories by different survivors. Absolutely incredible humans.

Great but low volume
Turn up the volume! Difficult to hear this low output volume. I found it very difficult to hear on public transport.
An intriguing history of these strong survivors in such horrific times.

A must read
This is the most detailed account that I have known. It gave me an insight to the abhorrent murderous daily working of a concentration camp. Everyone throughout the generations should be educated about what happened. I found the narrator’s voice very calming and precise which allowed me my own emotions.
