When Eli Sharabi, pale and emaciated, emerged from Hamas captivity last February, those familiar with the plight of the 251 hostages brutally kidnapped on October 7, 2023, were stunned. The recognizable face from posters was suddenly alive, upright, and walking toward his freedom. 

Many could only imagine the horrors the 53-year-old endured during his 491 days in the hands of terrorists, forced underground into a dark, airless tunnel, and starved and deprived of basic necessities. 

Others wondered how much he knew about the atrocities committed in his community of Kibbutz Be’eri and beyond on October 7 or if he was aware that his British-Israeli wife, Lianne, and their teenage daughters, Noiya and Yahel, had been murdered or that his beloved brother, Yossi, also from Be’eri, had been held hostage and later killed.

Sharabi, who since his release has fought tirelessly to see the remaining hostages freed, fills in many of those blanks in his captivating and horrifying memoir, Hostage (Harper Collins), which was published in English in time for the second anniversary of October 7.
