Resumen del Editor
Israeli storyteller Noa Baum grew up in Jerusalem in the shadow of the ancestral traumas of the holocaust and ongoing wars. Stories of the past and fear of annihilation in the wars of the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s shaped her perceptions and identity. In America, she met a Palestinian woman who had grown up under Israeli occupation, and as they shared memories of war years in Jerusalem, an unlikely friendship blossomed.
A Land Twice Promised delves into the heart of one of the world’s most enduring and complex conflicts. Baum’s deeply personal memoir recounts her journey from girlhood in post-Holocaust Israel to her adult encounter with “the other”. With honesty, compassion, and humor, she captures the drama of a nation at war and her discovery of humanity in the enemy.
Winner of the 2017 Anne Izard Storytellers' Choice Award, among others, this compelling memoir demonstrates the transformative power of art and challenges each listener to take the first step toward peace.

Historia
Born in China’s northwestern province, Sayragul Sauytbay trained as a doctor before being appointed a senior civil servant. But her life was upended when the Chinese authorities incarcerated her. Her crime? Being Kazakh, one of China’s ethnic minorities. The northwestern province borders the largest number of foreign nations and is the point in China that is the closest to Europe. In recent years, it has become home to more than 1,200 penal camps - modern-day gulags that are estimated to house three million members of the Kazakh and Uyghur minorities.

This is Mitka’s account of facing the past, confronting his captors, connecting with lost relatives, and finding peace in the rediscovery of his origins. For Mitka, this also meant reclaiming his Jewish heritage - a journey that gave him a new sense of purpose and freedom from the lingering effects of trauma that had filled his life to that point. By the end, Mitka’s Secret is less a story of survival and more one of redemption and transformation - from hidden suffering to abundant joy.

Historia
Who Killed My Father rips into France’s long neglect of the working class and its overt contempt for the poor, accusing the complacent French - at the minimum - of negligent homicide. The author goes to visit the ugly gray town of his childhood to see his dying father, barely 50 years old, who can hardly walk or breathe: “You belong to the category of humans whom politics consigns to an early death.” It’s as simple as that.

After the Last Border is an intimate look at the lives of two women as they struggle for the 21st-century American dream, having won the "golden ticket" to settle as refugees in Austin, Texas.

The Art of Inventing Hope offers an unprecedented, in-depth conversation between the world's most revered Holocaust survivor, Elie Wiesel, and a son of survivors, Howard Reich. During the last four years of Wiesel's life, he met frequently with Reich in New York, Chicago, and Florida - and spoke often on the phone - to discuss the subject that linked them: both Wiesel and Reich's father, Robert Reich, were liberated from Buchenwald death camp on April 11, 1945. What started as an interview assignment from the Chicago Tribune evolved into a friendship and partnership.

Grab it and listen!
Noa Baum knows how to tell a story. And when you listen to her, it is even more impressive than reading her book. Well, she is a professional storyteller and ex-actor, so when she lovingly mimics her mother or her grandmother I just laugh out loud. Yet, a minute later I almost cry, because Noa's life story is far from being just funny: it is a story of growing up in Israel and moving to the US, of tragedies, politics, enmities and friendships – first in Israel, then in her present life here.
As an avid listener to audio books and plays (mainly from the UK) I can testify: Noa Baum is one of the best narrators I have heard, and her talent is all present here: in the fascinating book she wrote and in the way she brings it to life in the audio edition. Just grab it and listen!

Extraordinary!
This book is rich and complex, yet so easy and entertaining to listen to and follow. Noa Baum is an award-winning storyteller, and all of her skills come to play in the many layers of her narrative. This book is so much more than a memoir, though it is also that. It tells the story of modern Israel, and Palestine, as seen by women on both sides. It evokes empathy for everyone in this heart breaking “situation”. Further, this book also tells the story of crafting a story, a piece of performance art, and is a masterclass in how to do that. Ms. Baum’s performance skills bring multiple characters to life.
I recommend this book to anyone with an interest in memoirs, even if you have little interest or knowledge of the Mideast. But I doubly recommend it if you are interested in the region, no matter your pre-existing assumptions.

Most significant book in a long while
I have met Noa at vigils and gatherings over the repeated atrocities in Gaza. Reading and listening to her stories here were deeply rewarding and personal for me. I acclaim this effort even more relevant now than eight years ago.

Voices to echo in your head
Noa has a true gift for storytelling and her narration brings her words, her experiences to life. The way she brings each character’s voice to life in narration, creates an image in mind’s eye. As she states - each person listening to her story will find meaning that resonates for them. So true!! Although Noa’s story is in the past and about people connecting in Israel and the US, it has parallels to the tumult and division in US today. The story is about a quest for compassion, understanding and empathy for someone and a culture previously not fully known. A must read and there is not a better time to reach out to others to learn of their experiences and views to work towards mutual understanding, compassion, empathy and ultimately peace. Seek out storytellers in your life whether they be a local senior or a professional storyteller trying to earn a living. Live performances are the best. Noa’s reading of her personal story brings it to life!

A masterpiece
I laughed. I teared up. I was in shock and horror and then would find myself chuckling over the accents Noa uses to tell the tragicomedy of her life as an Israeli woman trying to understand and come to grips with her existence in a war torn country. I learned so much about the history of the Israeli/Palestinian struggle through her intimate and very brave telling of her family's tale and am grateful that it was through Noa's tale and not a dry history book. Her storytelling is masterful. You will love this audible book!
