Iv'e been wanting to read the book for a while and I'm so glad that I finally did. Of course don't read this book if you are sensitive to things like descriptions of death, murder and that whole category but if not, I 100% recommend. Heather Morris definitely did Lale's story justice (it's based on a true story). I can't wait to read Cilka's Journey, a person who was a friend of Lale's in the the concentration camp and who Lale himself described as "a hero".
