Facing the Lion by Simone Liebster

[Tortuga]

Is Facing the Lion by Simone Liebster available in an English audio book?

I found a very interesting video of an interview with Simone Liebster. This is an collection of excerpts from it 

 

 

 

She makes an interesting point about the Heil Hitler salute always being a visible physical salute. Every greeting was preceeded by a physical and oral salute. 

 

It makes me wonder if one day nationalism will require everyone to physically confirm their allegiance to the political power before every greeting.

Richard, I don't know if this book is available as an audiobook. But you can always use the text-to-voice function of your device to make it an audiobook.

 

I use MoonReader in Android to read digital books. Just open the book where you want it to start, click play, and it will read the book aloud. It's not as good as a human reader, of course, but it does quite a good job. I guess most book readers for Android or iOS have this capability.

I bought the Kindle version and just finished reading it. A sad but amazing story.

Fantastic book! Especially because it shows how much children are capable of in serving Jehovah. Great book for adults who underestimate children.

Just saw your comment. I read the book myself and highly recommend it. There was a similar incident in the US back in the 1960s that you may have heard about. A teacher wanted to convey to his students how Germany got to accept Hitler. It was so subtle but it got out of hand. I met one of the students as he was my age and he was travelling to schools to spread the message that it could happen again. That was about 10 years ago.
