Cilka's Journey is a book I will not soon forget. While it is a work of fiction, the author has done a tremendous amount of research, which is documented in the book.

Cilka is a survivor and she is punished for being a survivor. After enduring the hardships of a concentration camp, she is sent to a Siberian prison camp for surviving the only way she could, by submitting her body to the whims of the German camp leadership. If not for the friendship of a doctor in the Siberian prison camp, Cilka may not have lived through her 15 year sentence of hard labor. This story is one of human strength, friendship, and love. It reminds us that the world can be a deadly place for those people and races that are deemed unacceptable. It is especially relevant for the world today.
