Description for A Train Near Magdeburg: A Teacher's Journey into the Holocaust, and the reuniting of the survivors and liberators, 70 years on
Review A selection of comments left by Amazon reviewers:'Buy this book. Read it. Share it. It's worth the time and expense to lose yourself in something that never should have happened. You owe it to yourself to immerse yourself in this journey.''The story of the end of the Holocaust and the Nazi regime told from a very different and precise angle. First-hand accounts from Jewish survivors and the US soldiers that secured their freedom. Gripping.''If you have any trepidation about reading a book on the Holocaust, this review is for you. [Matthew Rozell] masterfully conveys the individual stories of those featured in the book in a manner that does not leave the reader with a sense of despair, but rather a sense of purpose.''Extraordinary research into an event which needed to be told. I have read many books about the Holocaust and visited various museums but had not heard reference to this train previously. The fact that people involved were able to connect, support and help heal each other emotionally was amazing.''This was a fantastic book! The only one I've read where rescuers and survivors meet! I have recommended it to others before I even finished it!''Excellent book, with a winning combination of history and eyewitness accounts of heroes in World War II. I love how the author researched so thoroughly .Some of the heroes were American GIs and some were Jewish victims and even children. A story worth reading, and remembering ....so that it never happens again.''A compelling story that stands out amongst the many other books on history as being one that truly captures the human element of the story; not just dates and statistics, but real people, real stories.Truly wonderful to read both sides of the tale, those who were rescued and those who rescued.''It is a MUST--Very well written, the author describes his research of one of the most tragic period of the modern era. The encounter between American soldiers and the Jewish prisoners on a train to death is especially moving. Reading the testimonies of the survivors as well as those of the liberators is amazing and very accurate. Mr. Rozell has done intensive work and managed to bring the survivors and the liberators to meet after more than fifty years--just before it would have been too late.''Incredible research went into this book.Thoroughly enjoyed reading this and so sad to know we are soon to lose this entire generation. So hope we never forget them and what they all went through.What a blessing the author is to have written this and brought these people together after so many years. What healing this has given the survivors and military men.''A wonderful story into humanity and the love of history. Teachers and their lessons are so valuable to our youth. Matthew Rozell is to be commended for his passion to the truth in history. I learned so much from reading his book.''Mr. Rozell travels 'back to the future' of people who were not promised a tomorrow; neither the prisoners nor the troops knew what horrors the next moment would bring. He captures the parallel experience of soldiers fighting ruthless Nazism and the ruthless treatment of Jewish prisoners.''Reading this story is exceptionally rewarding because it is not only a history lesson; the author� tells the story through not only the annals of history, but by personally engaging with the characters of the story, in real time. This is a story and a personal journey and well worth the read.''As an Emmy award-winning documentary filmmaker I am always looking for good stories; stories that move the heart as well as the mind. This book does that in spades. From the first page to the last it rivets you to the passion of the author's journey and to the story of the people of whom he writes about. This story is a shining example of the good that people can do to help their fellow man. It is a story of a man who has followed his heart and mind to accomplish great things for others.'-Michael J.
