5.0 out of 5 stars*****5 stars for this one

ByPamPon June 11, 2018

Format: Kindle Edition|Verified Purchase

I very much enjoyed reading this book. Even though it is fiction the horrific crimes against humanity were real and we should never forget that.

5.0 out of 5 stars*****Life is important

ByAmazon Customeron June 8, 2018

Format: Kindle Edition

I truly enjoyed this book! So much from the heart and so descriptive as to the events of her seven yrs under Hitler’s rule. I kept hoping against hope that Max would make it to the end of the book. But then, I thought the same of Ben.

5.0 out of 5 stars*****This a most powerful and compelling novel

ByRichardon 14 June 2018

Format: Kindle Edition

There are many eras in history where one stops and thinks: Could I have survived in those days? Had I been born Jewish, lived in Berlin during the rise of Hitler and ended up in Auschwitz is something I have always wondered about. Paulette Mahurin has pretty much convinced me that I would not have. Fortunately, Helen Stein, the book’s main character, did.

Based on a true person, Helen tells her story to a young student nurse to whom she rents a room and who has noticed the damning tattoo on her forearm.

Prior to the war, Helen leads a comfortable enough life, until her father, who works for the German Government, is dismissed, simply for being Jewish. Life becomes more and more difficult. Helen has a friend, though, in the Nazi Youth, Max, who only joins because he is homosexual and feels that this course of action is the best way to hide his ‘frailties’.

When the hatred escalates, Max aids Helen and her brother Ben to escape at great danger to himself and hides them in a derelict farm belonging to his family. For four years they live there in fear that one day they will be discovered. That day arrives and they are transported to Auschwitz.

This a most powerful and compelling novel; the violence is never graphic, but the horror and threat of it as well as the implied violence will remain with the reader long after the last page has been reached. The author has not held back in any way and deals sensitively yet matter-of-factly with the atrocities and the sheer spirit of those who had the will and the almost inhuman strength to survive.

I thoroughly recommend this book, despite its harrowing nature, to anyone interested in this shameful period of human history and are curious to know what it was really like.

GOODREADS

May 30, 2018Laura**** rated it really liked it

Shelves: four-star

Although this was a fictional novel set during the Holocaust era, it read very much in the style of a real memoir. A relatively short story, but gripping all the same. Much of the aspects within the book have been taken from real life accounts of concentration camp survivors. It makes for uncomfortable reading at times.

This was the first book by this author I have read, and I would be tempted to read more by her. Her characters are realistic and her writing style and tone make the reading experience an easy one, despite the heavy subject matter.

A recommended read for fans of historical fiction and World War Two novels.

A well written emotional journey. I became invested in these realistic characters. His Name was Ben is a unique type of romance. It is a difficult topic with a beautiful lesson. Congrats to the author on a wonderful job. I highly recommend it.
