Cilka's Journey by Heather Morris
4.0

Another incredibly brave story of a young woman during the Holocaust and the aftermath. She was brought to Auschwitz when she was only 16 years old. Cilka was made to do incredibly horrific things in order to survive for three years. Because of these things she was forced to do, she was then convicted of “sleeping with the enemy” and was sent to Vorkuta Gulag, in Siberia. Cilka used her brains, her strength and her bravery to help others survive in unbearable conditions.
This is an amazing story. But then again, most survivors of the Holocaust are amazingly strong and brave people.
