Über diesen Titel
Can Greta Kolbe escape Nazi Vienna and reach America before her past and the Gestapo catch up to her?
"Vienna on Fire provides a gripping and historically accurate account of the resilience of the human spirit amid the darkest of times."—Erin Britton, San Francisco Book Review
In the heart of darkening Europe, amidst the looming war, "Vienna on Fire" by Don Gabor tells the riveting story of Greta Kolbe, an eighteen-year-old Jewish woman whose life was upended when German troops annexed Austria in 1938. Her peaceful existence is replaced by a nightmare of terror as she, along with Vienna's Jewish community, faces an ordeal of intimidation. Greta's journey of resilience begins as she flees Nazi Vienna to escape arrest for her resistance activities, embarking on a dangerous trek to Holland, with a spiteful ex-suitor and the Gestapo closely trailing her.
Demonstrating awe-inspiring bravery, Greta smuggles diamonds for the German resistance, eludes Hermann Göring's advances, and survives numerous perils, including a harrowing ambush at the German-Dutch border. Her race against time crescendos to a nail-biting climax on the gangplank of a ship bound for New York City, where she must evade her pursuers one last time.
Authored by Don Gabor, known for "How to Start a Conversation and Make Friends," this novel is a poignant tribute to the courage against tyranny, based on his mother's real-life experiences and those who opposed the Third Reich. "Vienna on Fire" is not merely a narrative but an affirmation of the human spirit, inviting listeners to witness Greta’s grit, ingenuity, and her relentless pursuit of freedom during Europe’s most forbidding time.
Uncover the courage that defies darkness—secure your copy of 'Vienna on Fire' now and be inspired by this remarkable story of persistence and survival.

Thank you, Don Gabor, for giving this book baby to
Thank you, Don Gabor, for giving this book baby to the world! I listened to it over the course of two days and couldn`t get my mind on anything much else – that`s how absorbing the story is. Gabrielle de Cuir`s narration was rockin`, even if the very occasional mispronunciation crept in. Okay, maybe I`m prejudiced (NOT), because my mom lived through the same time period in Vienna, but seriously, I think everybody should give this audiobook its due respect because you certainly won`t regret it. I feel these accounts, no matter from whose pen they flow, need to be told again, and again. It`s the least we owe the victims and their families, and the courageous people, Jew and Gentile alike, who helped them.
