Summary
Inspired by the life of forgotten hero Haim Michael Klar, the number-one Amazon Charts best seller I Am Juden is the triumphant, epic tale of one man's incredible courage and resistance during the 20th century's darkest days.
Jozef Siegler leads a perilous double life as an SS officer in the Krakow Ghetto and ultimately Auschwitz. His story is a tightrope walk through the Holocaust unlike any other. Nazi by day and Jewish resistance agent by night, any false move would result in instant death and exposure of his friends in the underground.
Germany 1938. Jozef Siegler is a shy professor but his days of innocence are numbered. Fired by his university on race grounds, he flees with his younger sister Shoshana. War envelops the continent. Constantly on the move, never certain who to trust, it is their inventive ingenuity, the kindness of strangers, and the most hair-raising strokes of luck that ensure their survival.
When Jozef stumbles on the dead body of SS Oberfuhrer Harry Mohnke, he faces the biggest challenge of his life. If he can bring himself to wear the hated uniform and impersonate a Nazi, how many lives could he save?

An unbelievable story
The end was too short and confusing. I wish it had been a bit longer and more clear. What happened to a few of the main characters for example

A moving story of the atrocities of the concentration camps and the crimes against humanity visited upon the Jewish people of Europe.
A fictional book based on truth.

Good story, a little all over the place as I was lost at one point as it starts near the end then jumps back to how he got there?? but I enjoyed it overall

Harrowing, compelling and upsetting!!
A good story, if a little all over the place. Not sure it is historically accurate, but that is a detail. The broad-brush strokes got across the inhumanity, brutality and sadistic nature of the occupation and the callous disregard the Nazis had for human life in general and Jewish people in particular. At times I was quite emotional and had to stop listening, as the graphic and sometimes almost casual acts of violence were very upsetting. The scene where the handicapped girl prisoner was hanged is especially harrowing and stood out! Finally, the last two chapters are quite confusing, and I had to relisten to make sense of what the author was trying to communicate! But I got there in the end. Not an easy listen, but it deserves to be persevered with.

excellent story and performance
The story brings to life the war years in Eastern Europe, the insanity and inhumanity of the nazis, the Jewish ghettos, the pogroms and the death camps. The back drop to the story is savage but because it's based on fact is entirely necessary. The performance is excellent all the way through. Given the subject I Am Juden is a valuable listen.

An intriguing account.
This was very well narrated and the historical events well weaved into the account. Very easy to listen to and difficult to put down. Very well worth buying.

Bad Writing and Worse Editing
I had to listen twice to make sure I wasn't remembering things wrongly. I didn't. Just too too many mistakes which should a) have not occurred b) been resolved by any half decent editor.
There are numerous basic historical and social history mistakes let alone a complete lack of understanding of German military and SS ranks, hierarchy and protocols.
The author has a Polish resident apologise for the lack of air conditioning in the small (not luxury) apartment; highly unlikely in the extreme to have air con anywhere in Poland in the 1940s.
The same with reference to the refrigerator, again highly unlikely.
The main character finds a safe in the apartment on the day of arrival and later says it was months before he discovered it.
Describing a farmers truck bed as being of aluminum (aluminium). This material was a rare and expensive commodity in those times, commercial truck beds would be steel or wood.
He finds the death certificates for his mother and sister in camp records. In the next chapter he is driven some 1200 miles from Istanbul to Palestine in a British army jeep ie through Turkey, Syria and Lebanon to meet his mother and sister in their house! Not o mention that it is dealt with in a few lines as if this journey was short and easy.
Heaping on the lack of sense, in the final chapter he is inexplicably back in Poland rescuing a baby.
There are many more of these inaccuracies and contradictions suffice to say if you want to hear them buy it and listen. I regret spending my Audible credit on this book.
It is read well enough.
