Cilka's Journey by Heather Morris
**** 4 stars
Review
This was truly a traumatic and emotional story. I haven't read the first book in this series yet, but I certainly plan to very soon.
Cilka was just 16 when she was taken to Auschwitz, she did what she needed to do just to survive the gas chambers and to live. But then she is sent to another prison camp in Siberia accused of being a spy and a collaborator.
Again she does what she needs to do to survive, though here she makes friends with some of the other women and eventually finds love.
This was such a heartbreaking story of this young girl which is based on a true story. You keep asking yourself How? Why? How could these atrocities happen to another human being? How can people be so evil and callous to others?
A wonderfully written beautiful story that will break your heart as you read it.
Highly recommended!
