Have you ever read a book that shook you to your core and you knew your review would never do it justice? That's how I feel about Cilka's Journey. As I tried to imagine myself living through what Cilka did, it's unimaginable. Add in the fact this is based off of a true story and you can't help the fact you'll shed tears. Cilka's Journey is about a girl who refused to let the evil in this world break her. She held on all the compliments, love, and encouragement her family gave her in the first sixteen years of her life to survive Birkenau and then the Gulag in Vorkuta. Once she was liberated she exchanged one prison for another and survived longer than I ever could have. This book is about one girl's desire to live despite all of the obstacles in her life. She found a way to create a family of her own and to love again when she though it was no longer possible.

If you enjoy historical fiction, you should definitely pick this book up. You don't have to read The Tattooist of Auschwitz to understand what's going on, but it would give you a little more history of her time in the concentration camps. This is one I highly reccomend you read.

Thank you to the publishers for a copy in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own and a positive review was not required.
