Cilka's Journey by Heather Morris is a free NetGalley ebook that I read in late September.

Cilka's story continues (albeit with frequent flashbacks to events that occur in The Tattooist of Auschwitz) in this novelization/dramatization about the rest of her life. She is freed from Auschwitz at the end of WWII, then sent to a Siberian women’s prison on suspicion of espionage. Slowly, she assimilates with and slowly grows closer to the other inmates and uses her knowledge of languages to work in a doctor’s office.

I absolutely love Cilka's Journey. Cilka is an inspiration to all victims from any walk of life.
I had a difficult time putting this book down. A must read.
