Reviews with content warning for Murder - Three Sisters

Wow. Three Sisters was truly a phenomenal story based on the true survival of 3 Jewish sisters during the Holocaust. I found this story harder to read given the present state of the world but I'm glad I continued with it. It is more important than ever to not forget history so we don't repeat it. The story of Cibi, Magda, and Livia is nothing short of a miracle. I loved the authors note at the end of the book and the letters from the girls families and from Livi. This is a difficult story to read and is full of the atrocities committed by the Nazis against innocent people. It doesn't shy away from the hard images because it is what these girls truly experienced. I appreciate stories like these being preserved forever.

I loved this authors books. Taking real Holocaust stories and telling them in a way where they melded with fiction. The Tattooist of Auschwitz will always hold a special place. I love and appreciate that she told this story of three sisters that also made it out alive. It’s sad and hard and real. I appreciate her focus also on what happened when it was all over for survivors. Excellent perspective and important

What I Liked:

Heather Morris is just a beautiful writer. You can tell she puts SO much research into these books, through first hand accounts from the people they are about and their family to general research about the settings.
The bond these three sisters had was just beautiful. They truly believed that the bond they shared and the promise they made are what saved them in these horrible situations.
I loved how we got to see so much of the sisters' lives after the concentration camps, specifically how they dealt with their grief and their memories moving forward.
One thing that I found just beautiful and that really gave depth to this story was how we saw the sisters' significant others deal with the feeling of guilt that they didn't "have it as bad" as the sisters. These people went through the most horrific thing one could ever imagine, and the thought that they'd compare themselves is heart wrenching, but I LOVED that the sisters set them straight (for lack of a better word).

What I Didn't Like/Wanted More Of

I wish we'd gotten to see a little more about some of the final moments
specifically with Chaya and Yitzchak (grandfather) and even Eva.
, specifically in terms of the shared grief between the sisters. I feel like they were missing SOMETHING, but I couldn't tell you what.
