The sequel to the International Number One Bestseller The Tattooist of Auschwitz, based on a true story of love and resilience.

Her beauty saved her life - and condemned her.

Cilka was only sixteen-years-old when she was taken to Auschwitz-Birkenau Concentration Camp, in 1942. The Commandant at Birkenau, Schwarzhuber, noticed her long beautiful hair, and forced her separation from the other women prisoners.

Cilka did what she had to in order to survive Auschwitz. And yet after Russian soldiers liberated Auschwitz in 1945, Cilka was charged as a collaborator and sentenced to serve a fifteen-year sentence for 'sleeping with the enemy'. Once again, she found herself on a brutal train journey, crammed into a carriage with many desperate women and children. This time, her destination was Siberia. She was by then only eighteen-years-old.

So began a new life of horror and brutality in a prison camp close to the Arctic Circle. But in this unimaginable darkness, this terror beyond terror, Cilka found endless resources within herself, her profound humanity and determination helping her to survive against all odds.

Cilka's Journey is a remarkable novel of courage and resilience, based upon the heart-breaking true story of Cilka Klein. Don't miss the conclusion to The Tattooist of Auschwitz Trilogy, Three Sisters. Available to pre-order now.

I found Cilka intriguing in the Tattooist of Aushwitz and so listened to this audiobook. While a lot of it is fiction, as Heather Morris states, it does present a realistic image of the Russian Gulag system- another torture place after Nazi concentration camps. Louise read brilliantly! I wish we could get more info on Cilka's life while free though.

Lots of fiction weaved into Reality

I enjoyed listening to this book. the story with the afterword and notes was effective in helping me connect with the protagonists, who was a real person.. the brutality that was par for course in these camps whether Auschwitz or the Gulag in Siberia in portrayed in derail. without spiralling into unnecessary graphic descriptions. the humiliation that is a central aspect of the lives in these camps is brought home to the reader. it is a book of great hope and I would have connected with it even better if the emotions had been portrayed with a greater granularity. overall an engaging and thought provoking work
