Have you read The Tattooist of Auschwitz? Such a compelling story! A minor character in that historical novel is Cilka Klein. Cilka's Journey could be considered a sequel to Tattooist.
Cilka Klein seemed to be doing pretty well in the camp at Auschwitz. She was labeled a "collaborator" by her fellow prisoners, when in reality she was a victim as much as all prisoners.
For years following the liberation of the camps, Cilka suffered in other camps set up for liberators. I knew so little of this aspect of the Holocaust and its aftermath. Morris is able to make history compelling and current.
