Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Jonathan Todd Ross delivers a performance that’s both robust and sensitive, perfectly capturing Rabbi Boteach's mix of anger and warmth. The audiobook is peppered with personal anecdotes that add depth to the historical narrative, making it deeply relatable. However, some segments feel overly rehearsed, particularly when Ross tries to force the humor. Despite this, ‘Holocaust Holiday’ remains a compelling listen, adeptly blending history lessons with family dynamics and offering listeners an intimate glimpse into one man’s quest to educate his children about their painful past.
