Summary
A story of heartbreak and survival by the stepsister of Anne Frank.
Eva was arrested by the Nazis on her 15 birthday and sent to Auschwitz. Her survival depended on endless strokes of luck, her own determination and the love and protection of her mother, Fritzi, who was deported with her.
When Auschwitz was liberated, Eva and Fritzi began the long journey home. They searched desperately for Eva's father and brother, from whom they had been separated. The news came some months later. Tragically, both men had been killed.
Before the war, in Amsterdam, Eva had become friendly with a young girl called Anne Frank. Though their fates were very different, Eva's life was set to be entwined with her friend's for ever more, after her mother, Fritzi, married Anne's father, Otto Frank, in 1953.
This is a searingly honest account of how an ordinary person survived the Holocaust. Eva's memories and descriptions are heartbreakingly clear; her account brings the horror as close as it can possibly be.
But this is also an exploration of what happened next, of Eva's struggle to live with herself after the war and to continue the work of her stepfather, Otto, ensuring that the legacy of Anne Frank is never forgotten.

After Auschwitz
This was not expected to be an easy listen but it was worthwhile. There were many engaging and heartfelt memories along the way to a very creative and positive use of experience.
I found myself slightly depressed occasionally by the readers tone, which led to a jarring re-cognition that it was not the author. Something in the writing tells me the author has more lively manner, naturally.

Loved this book absolutely a remarkable true story
Read a lot of books about Auschwitz but was interested in there life after, well written book. Loved that Eva raised a loving family, and visited prisons and the Ann Frank plays and organisation. Eva a remarkable woman, a very honest and true to all human experiences.

Moving account
A very emotional, moving and real account. I have listened to many books about the holocaust but this really touched me and was especially interesting to hear another side of Anne Franks and their stories after Auschwitz as so many memoirs end after liberation.
Very well read too. I highly recommend

A heartbreaking memoir
The book is heartbreaking but also uplifting. Beautifully read by Anne Dover, you feel like you're listening to the author herself.
