Very interesting
I really enjoyed this book. I thought it would be more like the title in the fact that her husband would be more involved in the Nazi party but he is not. It's more about how she deals with normal life living in Germany during the war. She tells stories about what she was forced to do which was very interesting. I would recommend this book as its a new insight in to a person's life living in an horrendous time.

Engrossing and well read.
Narrator has done a good job relating this story. A very interesting and well presented story. Gripping throughout and very helpful in keeping the memories…. of what should never happen again alive… for future generations.

Listen to this to believe it...astonishing.
What an amazing story. It unfolds slowly but the tension keeps building until it starts to feel like fiction. Such details of the buildup of the Nazi terror and killing machine seen experienced by Austrian citizens I had never realized, vividly brought to life.
I have just spent (July 2013) a few days in Vienna where the tour guides don't even mention the war (except how draconian the Versailles Treaty from WWI was). No mention of the Holocaust. I couldn't believe it. So stories like this one need to be told and need to be heard. The narrator used many authentic voices - keeping me enthralled.
If I had been editing this before it went to print, I would have encouraged more detail about the author's life after WWII. That's my only complaint - it wasn't long enough!

Survival story
This book was bought alive by the beautiful narration of Barbara Rosenblat.
This is a harrowing story of a Jewish woman’s survival in Nazi German. She is strong brave and resilient and her story is an important part of history.

A fantastic story of courage
This is my first purchase on Audible. I am delighted that, by chance, I found this amazing book, beautifully and powerfully written, and brilliantly narrated. The characters come completely to life. It's hard to believe that someone had the courage to survive such an ordeal, yet it is also full of hope. I can't recommend it highly enough.
