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.

This is the third book of hers I have read, all of which had characters orienting around Auschwitz-Birkenau. From the tattooist. To the girl placed in charge of the death hut. To this one which follows three Jewish sisters and their experiences of what happened to them during and after the war.
Against all odds they survived. With the informative history in the authors notes informing us that many of them lived a long long life. One of the original sisters actually still being alive as I read this.
I read this at an interesting time, with the Palestine and Israeli conflict going on right now and the genocide of Palestinians and the deaths of innocent civilians on both sides it really opens your eyes to how they just kind of entered Palestine to set up Israel. I certainly do not know enough about the history and will 100% learn more once I have the time to, but as much as I can understand Jewish communities wanting a safe space the way this book shows them simply taking and developing it on their own doesn’t sit right and i definitely intend to read more to understand how this happened to Palestine.
