INSEPARABLE The Hess Twins' Holocaust Journey through Bergen-Belsen to America

Every Holocaust memoir offers a unique perspective. This audiobook shows its horrors through the eyes of innocent children, Stefan and Marion Hess. Tavia Gilbert delivers their story of life with their parents in Bergen-Belsen concentration camp with tenderness and care. She manages to depict the reality and fragility of their existence without surrendering its fleeting moments of hope. Her gentle tones are almost calming when telling the siblings' stories while portraying the outrage warranted when she depicts the brutal beatings their father experienced or the games they played with prison guards to distract themselves from their reality. Through all of what their mother called "this dying hell," Gilbert never falters. D.J.S. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2024]
