Beyond the Tracks

Written by Michael Reit

Narrated by Mike Paul

Berlin, 1938

It’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.

[Craig Bradshaw · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

It was sensational I could not stop listening and loved it

[Kelly Izell · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Narrator used a Scottish accent for a German man (Jako’s dad), so that was a bit confusing. Overall good.

[Deborah Strange · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I enjoyed the storyline very much. It was the accents of the narrator which stopped me from giving a 5 star review.
