I'm not a huge novel/fiction fan, as I would rather read non-fiction: historical books, evangelical books, etc. But I thoroughly enjoyed this one, and I couldn't put it down. This was a fictionalized account of several real-life escapes from the Auschwitz-Birkenau Concentration Camp as detailed in the Auschwitz Protocols.
While reading it one afternoon at swim team practice, a gentleman was sitting beside me watching his granddaughter swim. He noticed the title of my book and asked me about it. So I struck up a conversation with. He said there was no way anyone could have escaped from that camp, because he had been there and seen it first hand. I didn't know how to rebut this, because I had not yet learned about the Protocols.
That led to him sharing how he had been to the Auschwitz Museum near Krakow, Poland, this past February. He pulled up images on his iPad and showed me all of the pictures he had taken. It was truly remarkable to see all of the museum pictures. Needless to say, I added Poland to my bucket-list travel destinations.
