My rating: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/3045995987">5 of 5 stars</a><br /><br />
I received a complimentary copy of this book through Netgalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. <br />Cilka Klein is only 16 years old when she is taken to Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp where she is forced to become a Nazi commandant's sex slave. Given priveledges that the other women in the camp lack, she uses her influence and extra food rations to help her friends to survive. But upon her release 2 years later, she is charged by the soviets for sleeping with the enemy and sentenced to 15 years hard labor in a Siberian prison camp. After a friend becomes injured, a doctor notices Cilka's skills with language and first aid and offers to train her as a nurse.<br />I loved Cilka in the Tattooist of Auschwitz and I was so excited to review this book and learn more of her story. The things she witnessed and endured are just heartbreaking.
