Publisher's summary

Felcia Hodaks's vital botanical skills are the only thing keeping her away from the gas chambers.

Against the backdrop of Auschwitz-Birkenau's ever-present brutality, Felcia tends to the plants needed for one of the Reich's most ambitious experiments—one that could tip the war in favor of the Nazis.

When Sabina Kupka discovers the horrifying nature of her father's job at a coal mine run by Nazis, she agrees to work with an increasingly defiant resistance. What starts small but significant soon propels her into a frontline role—dangerous enough to cost her her life if caught.

Soon, both women are engaged in a daring plan to arm the prisoners of Auschwitz-Birkenau.

The Botanist's Tracks is the third installment in the Beyond the Tracks series and takes readers to the Nazi agricultural camp of Rajsko, a ten-minute ride from Auschwitz-Birkenau.

Based on actual events, The Botanist's Tracks is the first-ever book set primarily in Rajsko and shows the incredible ingenuity of prisoners in finding ways to rise against impossible odds.

That there may have been compassionate officers in the war

I felt like the story ended weird but it was very good! So unfortunate that it really happened

I just wish that more emphasis had been given to the faith that prompted all those prayers!!! In any case, well done indeed!!! Giving God thanks for this author, narrator, and their loved ones!!! 🙌💖☝️

Reality’s brought to light

Michael Reit is a hero in his own right buy bringing the history and realism to his books. I have over the years tried to learn all I can about the Holocaust. The stories are held in my heart and I pray nothing like this ever happens again,

Flowers for Nazis?

I truly expected more depth in this trilogy, a little disappointed. Would have appreciated a lot more facts… that is the least we can do for those that suffered and lost their lives in those camps.
