It would have been interesting to know where certain characters ended up (for example, Baretski, Jakub, or Victor). Although I suppose it is more realistic to not know. Certainly it would be very unlikely for Lale or Gita to ever know that information.

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
