"Compelling...brilliant...This remarkable, beautifully written book is full of sadness but it also full of great beauty and joy." -- Daily Mail, "At times the revelations are so extraordinary to modern eyes that the memoir has an almost fictional feel." -- Financial Times, "An astonishing family memoir that will imprint itself on your psyche...Ariana Neumann has breached the hidden surface of her family's tumultuous past and brought not only their tragedies and sorrows, but also their joys and loves, to indelible light." --John Burnham Schwartz, author of The Red Daughter , The Commoner and Reservation Road, "A moving saga of war and the Holocaust . . . Never to be forgotten as long as such accounts remain." -- Bookreporter, " When Time Stopped is beautiful, deeply moving, and extraordinary in its reach and its depth. I felt such kinship with the way in which Ariana Neumann moved through the world in her journey. It is absolutely remarkable." -- Edmund de Waal, author of The Hare with Amber Eyes, "An astonishing story of survival . . . Neumann's eloquent, skillfully researched book will appeal to many, especially those interested in family histories and the lives of Holocaust survivors." --Library Journal, " When Time Stopped is a beautifully told story of personal discovery, of almost unimaginable human bravery and sacrifice, and a harrowing portrait of living, dying, and surviving under the yoke of Nazism." --John le Carré, author of Agent Running in the Field, "Occasionally there appears a book so devastating that the only response is stunned silence. . . . When Time Stopped is about the triumph of the human spirit." -- Frances Wilson, The Oldie, "In this elegantly structured debut, the author reconstructs with considerable literary finesse the life of her father...A multilayered memoir written from the unusual perspective of a Holocaust survivor's daughter who grew up in Latin America." -- Kirkus Reviews, "A love letter to a father who, out of sheer will and determination, did not allow the Nazis to destroy him--and who rose to become one of Venezuela's most successful industrialists. Part literary memoir, part mystery tale, Ariana Neumann's tribute to her father is a classic story of redemption and love." --Janine di Giovanni, author of The Morning They Came for Us: Dispatches from Syria, "Reads like a thriller and it is so timely. The work and emotion put into [the] book is unbelievable." --BuzzFeed, "A love letter to a father who, out of sheer will and determination, did not allow the Nazis to destroy him . . . A classic story of redemption and love." --Janine di Giovanni, author of The Morning They Came for Us, " When Time Stopped vitally confirms our experience as survivors and carries our same message of hope: Nothing will be forgotten. All will be passed down and remembered . Thank you, Ariana Neumann, for writing this book." --Helena Klimova and Ivan Klíma , winner of the Franz Kafka Prize and author of My Crazy Century and Love and Garbage, "A beautifully wrought book that is both a detective story and a family history." -- The Times of Israel, "Utterly riveting: Ms. Neumann's memoir reads like a detective novel as she unravels her late father's complex, agonizing yet inspiring trajectory." --Claire Messud, author of The Emperor's Children and The Woman Upstairs, "Neumann debuts with a deeply moving account of her father's life during the Holocaust...This gripping, expertly researched narrative will inspire those looking to uncover their own family histories." -- Publishers Weekly, "Never in my reading life have I ever come across anything akin to this magical, brilliant, and gripping work of art." --Deborah Copaken, author of The Red Book, "We both survived the Holocaust. Part of our childhoods were spent in hiding and in the concentration camp at Terezín. We lived through events--and knew some of the people--so perfectly and creatively depicted in these pages. It is a story that has crossed the world, but it vitally confirms our experience as survivors and carries our same message of hope: Nothing will be forgotten. All will be passed down and remembered . Thank you, Ariana Neumann, for writing this book." --Helena Klímová and Ivan Klíma, Winner of the Franz Kafka Prize and author of My Crazy Century and Love and Garbage, "[An] astonishing story of survival...Neumann's eloquent, skillfully researched book will appeal to many, especially those interested in family histories and the lives of Holocaust survivors." -- Library Journal, More Praise for the New York Times bestselling WHEN TIME STOPPED: "The story Neumann uncovers is worthy of fiction with hairpin plot twists, daredevil acts of love and unexpected moments of humor in dark times. Given the slew of colorful characters and dramatic details, she could have turned her painstaking research into a historical novel. Instead she has written a superb family memoir that unfolds its poignant power on multiple levels. Yes, her account of one Jewish-Czech family's race to outwit the Nazis makes for thrilling reading. But just as important is her lucid investigation of the nature of memory, identity and remembrance." --The New York Times Book Review, "Ariana Neumann's beautiful, meticulously researched memoir is an extraordinarily moving story of a family's lost history, a father's well-kept secret, and a daughter who pieces it all together with courage, tenacity, and most of all, love." --Dani Shapiro, author of Inheritance , Devotion , and Still Writing, "Extraordinary...what remains is so vast, so much more than one life brought out from the shadows: it is a daughter's deep love and humanity towards a complex and occasionally difficult father who tried to shield her from the pain of knowing about his earlier life, but it is also the story of a whole family lovingly recreated....[ When Time Stopped is] a treasure to be savored as testament of the human will to survive." --Anne Sebba, The Spectator, "Elegantly structured . . . the author reconstructs with considerable literary finesse the life of her father." --Kirkus Reviews, "Beautifully written...One of the most powerful and profoundly moving family stories of the Holocaust to have been published in many years and a must read." --Dan Stone, Director of the Holocaust Research Institute, Royal Holloway, University of London, "Extraordinary in its reach and its depth. I felt such kinship with the way in which Ariana Neumann moved through the world. . . . Absolutely remarkable." --Edmund de Waal, author of The Hare with Amber Eyes, "Ariana Neumann has given us a gripping true story--the account of her father's determination to survive the Holocaust and the clues he left behind...This is nonfiction that reads like a detective thriller." --Tilar J. Mazzeo, author of Irena's Children, "I've read countless memoirs. I've read hundreds of books about the Holocaust and mysteries and detective stories and rigorously researched tomes of history and psychological studies of the effects of trauma. But never in my reading life have I ever come across anything akin to this magical, brilliant, and gripping work of art." --Deborah Copaken, author of The Red Book, "A carefully woven, beautifully written tapestry. This is a work of resistance against oblivion, a reminder against forgetting, an investigation driven by true love." --Stephen D. Smith, PhD, executive director of the USC Shoah Foundation, "An astonishing family memoir that will imprint itself on your psyche . . . Ariana Neumann has breached the hidden surface of her family's tumultuous past and brought not only their tragedies and sorrows but also their joys and loves, to indelible light." --John Burnham Schwartz, author of The Red Daughter and Reservation Road, "Remarkable...Through painstaking, meticulous research Neumann tells the true story--part memoir, part history--of her heart-wrenching and ultimately life-affirming journey in uncovering her family's long hidden past." --Georgia Hunter, author of We Were the Lucky Ones, More Praise for the New York Times bestselling WHEN TIME STOPPED: "At times the revelations are so extraordinary to modern eyes that the memoir has an almost fictional feel." -- Financial Times, "Utterly riveting: Ms. Neumann's memoir reads like a detective novel, as she unravels her late father's complex, agonizing yet inspiring trajectory. Conjuring the lives of her relatives murdered in the Holocaust, she brings their lost world to vivid life." --Claire Messud, author of The Emperor's Children and The Woman Upstairs, "Evocative . . . Neumann discovers her Jewish roots and pieces together the incredible, heartbreaking family history her father never told her." --Real Simple, "A beautifully told story of personal discovery, of almost unimaginable human bravery and sacrifice, and a harrowing portrait of living, dying, and surviving under the yoke of Nazism." --John le Carré , author of Agent Running in the Field, "Profound, gripping, and gut-wrenching...This heartbreaking and unforgettable memoir belongs in every library for the important history Neumann unearths. Like Anne Frank's diary, it offers a story that needs to be told and heard." -- Booklist (starred review), "A brilliantly heart-wrenching memoir . . . Neumann is a gifted, visceral writer." -- BookPage (starred review), "Extraordinary... To unearth such stories takes great determination, patience and sensitivity, not least because so many of those who survived did so by suppressing the truth." -- The Guardian, New York Times Bestseller An Amazon Best Books of the Year Pick "The story Neumann uncovers is worthy of fiction with hairpin plot twists, daredevil acts of love and unexpected moments of humor in dark times.

Synopsis
In this astonishing story that "reads like a thriller and is so, so timely" ( BuzzFeed ) Ariana Neumann dives into the secrets of her father's past: "Like Anne Frank's diary, it offers a story that needs to be told and heard" ( Booklist , starred review). In 1941, the first Neumann family member was taken by the Nazis, arrested in German-occupied Czechoslovakia for bathing in a stretch of river forbidden to Jews. He was transported to Auschwitz. Eighteen days later his prisoner number was entered into the morgue book. Of thirty-four Neumann family members, twenty-five were murdered by the Nazis. One of the survivors was Hans Neumann, who, to escape the German death net, traveled to Berlin and hid in plain sight under the Gestapo's eyes. What Hans experienced was so unspeakable that, when he built an industrial empire in Venezuela, he couldn't bring himself to talk about it. All his daughter Ariana knew was that something terrible had happened. When Hans died, he left Ariana a small box filled with letters, diary entries, and other memorabilia. Ten years later Ariana finally summoned the courage to have the letters translated, and she began reading. What she discovered launched her on a worldwide search that would deliver indelible portraits of a family loving, finding meaning, and trying to survive amid the worst that can be imagined. A "beautifully told story of personal discovery" (John le Carré), When Time Stopped is an unputdownable detective story and an epic family memoir, spanning nearly ninety years and crossing oceans. Neumann brings each relative to vivid life, and this "gripping, expertly researched narrative will inspire those looking to uncover their own family histories" ( Publishers Weekly ).
