What would you do if your saviors became your captors? At nineteen that is what happened to Cecilia Kline. She was only 16 when sent to Auschwitz and found a way to survive the camp. But now that the Soviets liberated those that survived, they claimed Cecilia, known to her friends as Cilka, was an enemy of the state. Therefore, instead of freedom, Cilka is going from one hellish imprisonment to another.
She is confused and angry. Only doing what she had to for survival, she is now condemned for the life she was forcibly thrust into by the Nazis. Once again, convicted without a trial she will pay for the perceived crimes of spying, prostitution and working with the enemy. She is sentenced to 15 years hard labor for merely trying to survive the atrocities of the Nazis. Again will she be forced to choose life no matter what cost? Many things in her life are shattered, but not her soul. She is a survivor.
