Cilka's Journery, like The Tatooist, are fictional but based on real people and real events. Cilka was a survivor of Auschwitz-Berkenau, and was imprisoned in Siberia. Some of the people she met in the book are real, some are compilations of people and some are fictional. Likewise, the specific events are a mix of fact and extrapolation. In the Afterword, Morris explains where she filled in missing details. Her books are the result of personal interviews and research, and are a well written mix.

It was tough to get through and I had to stop and come back several times, it's hardly believable.
