The Nazi Officer's Wife: How One Jewish Woman Survived the Holocaust Audiobook (Unabridged)

" This book is excellent and its so powerful and its a must read "

" Was really, really good. I couldn't stop once I started. Just had to find out what happened. Not as sad as most holocaust books... was able to show some of the triumph over the enemy! "

" The Nazi Officer's Wife is another great book about survival during the holocaust. The difference is that this young woman chose (or was chosen by) a means of survival that I had never considered. Her choice did not come without sacrifice, pain, loss, and heartache, but hers is an amazing story and well worth reading. "

" Great book. Not your typical Holocaust story. Gave good insight into society at that time and how the war was able to advance. Well written. "

" An incredible story. How can one person survive what she went through ? She surely had an angel on her shoulder. "

" 2009- Wow, I've read many Holocaust memoirs, but none as quickly as this story of a Jewish women living life as the wife of a Nazi Officer. I think part of the reason I liked this book so much was because the narrator was so likable. The story was also retold wonderfully, making the people featured seem to come alive. Definitely recommended. "

" An amazing story from an amazing woman. "

" This story is different because this is a Jewish female that lived in the open as a German woman "without Jewish blood". It is a moving story of her fear, anxiety and cleverness to survive during this time. I read this because it was a book club pick for the month. It wasn't one that I felt I wanted to finish in one day, but I was riveted. "

" Great true story of the past "

" All school children should have to read this book. Wonderful story of survival. "

" another book about Nazis? Oh but wait, this one is an amazing account of a Jewish woman survived the Holocaust by being married to a Nazi officer. Great non-fiction! "

" An amazing tale of human survival and what one woman did to survive...chilling. "

" An amazing true story about how this woman lived through the holocaust. It helped me understand more about this awful time in our history by showing the progression of the Nazi occupation in her town and the changes that came about, one leading to another. "

" True story, very good. Realistic and not full of hyperbole. I mean, yes, it was a horror show, but that wasn't the only story. A fast read and a worthwhile one. "

" So far, very good. Austrian woman and her family at the beginning of Hitler's reign to get all Jews out of Europe. Good writing, good characterizations, very interesting. 1/3 through. True story of a woman....well I'll find out. "

" This is a pretty incredible non-fiction story. An aspect of the Holocaust that I wasn't very familiar with. "

" interesting look at what people can endure under difficult situations; her descriptions of her personality changes in order to survive were touching; this is a quick read but worth it "

" Interesting read, about a horrific time in history. This is the first memoir I've read about someone who hid their identity and "became" a German. "

" This was such an interesting story. It was interesting seeing a story from a Jew's perspective from inside of Germany. It was sad and still crazy for me to believe this stuff happened not long ago. "

" This was an interesting story of a Jewish girl/woman during the Holocaust. Not terribly well written, but a quick read. "

" The Nazi Officer's Wife: How One Jewish Woman Survived the Holocaust by Edith Hahn Beer. I recently asked someone if she'd seen "Europa Europa" to elucidate the fact that you could simply never invent stories more surreal than these. "

" Wow--very intersting. I ready this a couple of summers ago and I just started thinking about it again. I wanted to put it in my books so that I could remember to recommend it. "

" Sad tale of life as a Jew in Nazi Germany, but then, aren't they all? "

" A different take than the usual holocaust victim survival story, yet I can't help but wish she were more courageous, actively helping those in need, part of some resistance, etc. Worth the read though. She is quite the character and it comes through plainly in her writing! "

" It wasn't as dramatic as I thought it would be, but a good read. Kept me busy in the Cleveland airport. I'm glad she lived to tell the tale. "

" I thought it was honest... Gives an account of Nazi attitudes towards Jews during the holocaust and was therefore informative. "

" What a fantastic book! What a moving story. "

" A must read for those trying to understand the survival of the Jewish human spirit during WWII in Germany. "

" I really loved this! This would make a great book club book! "

" This was quite an interesting memoir about one Jewish woman's experience during the Holocaust. "

" An interesting memoir that gives an unique perspective of a Jewish woman's life hiding in plain site during WWII and Shoah. This is a different story than I have ever read in my years of Holocaust studies, historically and literary. "

" Great story about how one woman survived the holocaust! It is always amazing the ingenuity of humans to survive atrocious situations. This book was a great view of the times. "

" I really enjoyed the real life experience and I hate to say this but I almost wish it were more of a fictional book so there would be more detail. "

" This is a story of a Jewish woman who married a German officer. She made choices I hope I would not make, by assuming the identity of some one else. She temporarily turned her back on her religion and lived a life of lies in order to survive. "

" An frightening account of how people manage under the most difficult circumstances. "

" It is absolutely amazing what people will do to survive and live! And so far, no two stories are the same with the exception that some will live and some will not. But it does make you think...what would I do in similar situations? could I survive? could I even handle the daily stresses? "
