History often records the Holocaust in numbers. This audiobook tells that history through the experience of one Hungarian Jewish family.
*Taken. Numbered. Survived. is not a typical Holocaust memoir. It is a documented historical narrative built from survivor testimony, archival records, and verified sources. Through the experience of Mary Katz Claman and her family, it shows how the Holocaust unfolded in human terms: through exclusion, ghettoization, deportation, selection, forced labor, mass murder, displacement, and survival.
Mary was one Jewish teenager, but her story reflects a much larger history. What happened to her family was part of the same machinery of destruction that murdered six million Jews across Europe.
In June 1944, Mary was forced from her home, confined in the Kisvárda ghetto, and deported by cattle car to Auschwitz-Birkenau. Within minutes of arrival, her family was torn apart. A single gesture on the selection ramp determined who might live and who would almost certainly die.
Written by her son, Brian Claman, this audiobook records what was taken, what was endured, and why this history must be carried forward.
