About this item

"You'll feel like you're walking next to the characters as they face their struggles." - Amazon reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Berlin, 1938It’s no longer safe here. When the Jewish families of Berlin start disappearing in nightly raids, 21-year-old Jacob Kagan knows it’s only a matter of time before the trucks come for him. Along with his family and best friend, he flees the country he’s always called home to find shelter in a Dutch refugee camp. Before long, the Netherlands falls to the Nazi war machine — Jacob’s new home is transformed into a transit camp with weekly trains bound for the horrors of the Eastern concentration camps. Handpicked by the cruel new SS regime to police the camp’s Jewish population, Jacob has the opportunity to save his parents and best friend from the dreaded transport lists — but at what cost? Based on true events, Beyond the Tracks is a redemptive story of unconditional loyalty and a will to survive at impossible odds. What readers are saying about Beyond the Tracks: "Fantastic book. Very easy to read...hard to put down. Lots of detail. I was surprised at the end to find this was a historical fiction. It felt very real." - Amazon reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "All I can say is WOW. This book holds your interest from the first page to the last." - Amazon reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "This book was phenomenally written and really tugged at the heart strings." - Goodreads reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "This was a excellent read. I am well versed on WWII but this opened my eyes to a few things I was unaware of." - Amazon reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "This book grabs you from the first page. Each character becomes alive as their story unfolds. I quickly felt endeared by some and disgusted with others. I felt the joys and sorrows as the story unfolded.It's been a long time since I read a book I could hardly put down, and at the same time not want to end." - Goodreads reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "If you are considering reading this book I am sure like me, you have read many on the Holocaust. This book is particularly special because the events are true. The details of the camps are true. The events happened. Some of the characters are non fictional. It is a true portrayal of what occurred in all of its ugliness." - Amazon reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "This is what I call real life. The story is based on (mostly) actual events and people. It is a story about a time and place I had not heard of, which is what I like when reading historical fiction. Very unputdownable story. - Goodreads reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Michael Reit has a way of captivating the audience and transporting the reader into the trials and tribulations of Jacob Kagan and his friends and family. I finished this book in less than a day...I could not put it down!" - Goodreads reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
