The sequel to the International Number One Bestseller The Tattooist of Auschwitz, based on a true story of love and resilience.

Her beauty saved her life - and condemned her.

Cilka was only sixteen-years-old when she was taken to Auschwitz-Birkenau Concentration Camp, in 1942. The Commandant at Birkenau, Schwarzhuber, noticed her long beautiful hair, and forced her separation from the other women prisoners.

Cilka did what she had to in order to survive Auschwitz. And yet after Russian soldiers liberated Auschwitz in 1945, Cilka was charged as a collaborator and sentenced to serve a fifteen-year sentence for 'sleeping with the enemy'. Once again, she found herself on a brutal train journey, crammed into a carriage with many desperate women and children. This time, her destination was Siberia. She was by then only eighteen-years-old.

So began a new life of horror and brutality in a prison camp close to the Arctic Circle. But in this unimaginable darkness, this terror beyond terror, Cilka found endless resources within herself, her profound humanity and determination helping her to survive against all odds.

Cilka's Journey is a remarkable novel of courage and resilience, based upon the heart-breaking true story of Cilka Klein. Don't miss the conclusion to The Tattooist of Auschwitz Trilogy, Three Sisters. Available to pre-order now.

This book is follow up tattooist of Auschwitz, Cilka story was so sad and shocking what she and her follow prisoners went through. Being sent to Auschwitz at 16 surviving that then getting sent to the Gulag in Siberia for the crime of staying alive at any means necessary. But Cilka strength and will is amazing to me to be repeatedly raped for years but her strength to try to help other people where she can as block 25 leader where she shouted at the follow prisoners so the SS guards didn’t beat them for the last moments of there lives. To becoming nurse at the gulag. truly horrific story you couldn’t imagine in this day and age how bad things where. This story of Cilka is a must learn more about history of the people.

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this, it is a very sad account of life within the prison camps. Very well narrated, the best bit of course is at the end when happiness is found for Cilka and she is able to live her life in a 'normal' way. Would highly recommend this book to everyone

Based on the heartwrenching true story of a young woman's life in birkenau and then to a gualg camp in siberia. Devastating, yes, but also it was an honour to know some of her story and what really went on in one of the biggest massacres in history. Highly recommended.

Heartbreaking

Loved every minute of it, amazingly every bit as gripping as The Tattooist of Auschwitz!
