I read The Tattooist of Auschwitz over the summer. Afterwards I heard Cilka was getting a follow up story to share her journey. I absolutely adored this book. I am a huge fan of WWII era books. I love historical fiction and it was nice how this fit in so well with events that were going on during post WWII. There is plenty of movement of characters, chances to fall in love with the characters. Cilka and her journey really makes your heart break thinking about how she was freed from captivity only to be charged with aiding the Germans as she had been forced to satisfy a camp director. She did it out of survival and was still punished. The writing is not very deep, but the emotional pull is there and it’s crazy how these were things that people actually went through.
