This book is a tear jerking, but also very inspiring. They never give up and find ways to survive such a horrific fate that was handed to them. MUST READ!

This book is a romance caught up in such a terrible time. Learning about how truly awful the Nazi's were from the perspective of someone who dealt with them for years, has made my negative feelings intensify. But my respect for the survivors become immeasurable.

Pretty hard to read content wise but I knew that going in. I think the author did well to put sort of a first person perspective on what it was like live in a concentration camp during WWII with more depth and realness that can be obtained from reading a history book. I know this is based on a true story and a real couple but the way it was written I was not totally sold on the love story. The man just decides he loves a random girl and that’s that? They had some sweet moments and I know that the author had a lot of other information to cover but the love story was kind of the whole point so I wish it was flushed out a bit more. 

After reading some other reviews some say this might not be the most historically accurate portrayal, so when reading this please keep this in mind. I don’t think it ruins the book for me as I was more into it from an emotional standpoint but knowing that just don’t take everything as fact.

This is a book about the holocaust and it doesn’t not shy away from gruesome truths that happen at concentration camps
