Mischling by Affinity Konar

4.0

---

The writing in this book felt scattered at first and hard to follow. But the more I became invested in the story of these girls, it felt as though there would be no other way to tell this horrific story. I have read many books where the topic was of the holocaust, but this one took it a step further. Knowing that Mengele was a true part of this story and inflicted such pain on children in the name of research, made it hard at times to read on. If my memory is correct, this is the first book I have read which takes the reader beyond the camps and into the life after being liberated. My first thought when camps are liberated was "Thank God, they are finally free". After reading this book, I now know that, yes they no longer were imprisoned but they were never free and their struggles continued.
