4.0

Astonishing, inspiring and harrowing. Based on the true story of how three sisters survived the atrocities of the Holocaust together. It's split into three parts - their promise to their father that they will always stay together (in 1929), their time within the death camp/s (1942-1945) and their journey and settlement into Israel after the war. It's quite a slow - paced read especially due to the heaviness of the text but worth the full read. The afterwords from various family members and photos were a lovely touch. 
I recommend to anyone who is interested in gaining insight into the Jewish perspective of ww2 to read the three beautifully written books by Heather Morris: Three Sisters, Cilka's Journey and The Tattooist of Auschwitz.
