Remembrance, by A.K. Stauber Review Completed on:01/19/2015Review Rating:5 stars! Reviewed By Patricia Day for Readers' FavoriteThe story will capture your attention and you might even find it impossible to put the book aside. I could not. Her pain is described with such skill that you will feel involved in her immense struggle. Her lucky escape will keep you on the edge of your seat. A.K. Stauber's writing is beautiful. The story draws you in immediately and refuses to let you go. By the end of the book I felt I had been running alongside Anna. I absolutely loved this book, despite its sad content. Heather Osborne 5 Stars!Remembrance: Part I: A Time for War by A.K. Stauber is the first installment in a gripping series about survival during the Holocaust. As an avid reader and writer of things surrounding the Holocaust, I found it to be very emotional as well as mostly historically accurate, a difficult thing to do when there are so many different accounts of events during the war. readersfavorite.com/book-review/remembranceCheryl E. Rodriguez 4 Stars!Remembrance: A Time for War by A.K. Stauber. It chronicles the war-torn life of her protagonist's character. The novel opens with a shocking sequence, grabbing you from the beginning. Baited and hooked you are held captive, feeling the drama of the conflict as it unfolds. Keeping you on pins and needles, the book is hard to put down. The plot moves quickly from one event to the next. Anticipation turns to expectation, wondering what's going to happen next.
From the Author Over the past twenty plus years I have read numerous books on the subject of the Holocaust- from memoir to fictional to historical texts. I have listened to personal accounts (on video), visited the concentration camp Dachau, and watched just about every movie that was made on the subject. Why? Since reading Anne Frank as a young girl, I became obsessed with the Holocaust and wanted to learn everything I could about it. Since then it has been put into my heart to write a book on the subject. I brushed up on my research, took variations of the experiences of many and rolled them up into one person. I took great care to be as accurate as possible- not just about the historical events, but the human experience. I hope I have not failed in that.
About the Author A.K. Stauber lives in Central Minnesota with her family and four dogs, including a sweet Pitbull who "adopted" her family. She has been writing stories since the age of thirteen, as well as dabbling in poetry. Some of her favorite authors include Kristin Hannah, Stephanie Meyer, Dean Koontz and V.C. Andrews (early works). Besides writing, she enjoys drawing, painting, reading and spending time with family.

Frankel The main strength of this book is the intense narrative focused on the horrific experiences of the Jewish female protagonist in Poland during World War II. For the most part, Anna is very credible. She is strong yet vulnerable, though events harden her over time.I have no doubt that Stauber studied the history of the Holocaust, yet this book betrays her lack of knowledge of the Hasidic Jewish community. I believe that it was an error of judgment to call any of these characters Hasidic. They should have been urban Jews from Warsaw or Krakow who were somewhat assimilated. Genuinely Hasidic characters would have had difficulties with the events of this storyline that weren't even mentioned once in the novel. The kosher diet of all Orthodox Jews is one prominent example. Hasidic characters would have given some thought to the lack of availability of kosher food in their circumstances, and they would have made a decision about it. The inaccuracies in the portrayal of these characters begin with their names which should be either Hebrew or Yiddish. A more minor nomenclature error is that the characters refer to a Hasidic man's strands of ringlets as "payot". That is Sephardic Hebrew. These characters were Ashkenazic Jews who would have spoken Ashkenazic Hebrew. The ringlet strands would have been "payas". This may seem inconsequential, but any reader who is familiar with the cultural context would see that mistake as a reminder of the author's shortcomings in this area. More importantly, the background of Pawel is riddled with contradictions. The explanation for these contradictions is unworkable. A Hasidic family would never have united in marriage with a family without the proper religious background. Arranged marriages have always been seen as a commitment between families rather than individuals. A Hasidic family would only consider someone from a similar type of family. This would be the most important criterion for a matchmaker in that community. It just wouldn't have happened.On the other hand, the cover of Remembrance Part I is worthy of praise. It has an impact. The sky is dominated by the Star of David surrounded by flames and dripping blood. I would call it a powerful artistic metaphor. The cover isn't such an asset in the black and white version that appears on my Kindle. Without the colors it doesn't make so strong a statement. I would also like to point out that the author's name is greyed out and nearly disappears in that version. Unfortunately, the favorable impression made by the cover in full color is ruined by the reader's first encounter with the text which starts with a misspelling. This is an error that should have been caught and fixed. I can't even type that misspelling in Word without seeing it underlined in red. It's the only misspelling in the entire book, but a reader who sees "Prolouge" would have no way of knowing that. Much later in the book Polish appears un-capitalized twice, but these slipups are much less noticeable. Typographical errors that appear in the beginning of a book have a negative influence on readers. They may even decide to stop reading it.The Hasidic cultural background of certain characters will presumably recede and become less important in future volumes, but I experienced the inconsistent presentation of this background as a significant flaw in this book. A consultant who is educated in all the rich complexities of Hasidic Jewish life would have been helpful.

After everyone in her village was brutally murdered as she watched from the woods, including her own family, she tries to seek refuge but the Germans always catch up to her. It seems like everyone she encounters is at risk or out to report her, and she isn’t sure how long she will survive.Remembrance is book one of the Remembrance series and introduces Anna, a Jewish girl in Poland who isn’t so sure God is actually looking out for her. She has good reason to doubt her faith, since God didn’t seem to protect her family from being murdered by Nazis, and worse He didn’t give her the strength to protect them, not even her 4 year old brother, which will haunt her for the rest of her life. It seems obvious that eventually the Nazis will catch up to her, but what she will do in the mean time to survive will make everyone reading realize how comfortable and wealthy we are. Anna is hungry, cold, hiding in pits and walls, and never quite sure who she can trust, even fellow Jews. I am a big fan of historical fiction in general, and so far this seems well researched and engaging. Of course the Holocaust is undeniably fascinating, as you can’t help but put yourself in the shoes of both the attacked and attackers and wonder where you would stand. I think that is part of the appeal of Anna; while she has no choice due to her heritage, she still questions her own morality and if she really is any better than the Nazis as she tries to survive. I hope to see more of Anna’s story, and like everyone else hopes she survives long enough to tell her story.

After the Germans devastated fifteen year old Anna’s town she is forced to go on the run and ends up meeting another young Jew named Pawel. Together, they hide from the Germans, knowing that to be discovered would bring certain death. This is a very intense story and was hard to read at times knowing things like this actually happened. The author has done a great job of portraying life for Polish Jews during this time period and the while book is very realistic. This story hit close to home for me since some of my partner’s family experienced some of the same things experienced by characters in the novel. The character of Anna matures from an innocent fifteen year old to a young woman who is slowly finding her hard edge. I truly loved this book although the cliff hanger at the end of the book was frustrating because now I have to wait for part two in the series. I read this on my ereader and it formatted well. The cover was not particularly enticing but the story was amazing.
