Book #3 and the final book in the Tattooist of Auschwitz trilogy
A promise to stay together, an unbreakable bond and a fierce will to survive.
“Three Sisters” follows the real-life Meller sisters who all survived imprisonment at Auschwitz-Birkenau and the winter march at the end of WW11. When the war ended, the sisters wandered through Germany before returning to Slovakia. Only to find once there, their home occupied by squatters and a strong anti-Semitism still lingering. The girls then set off to a training camp for future immigrants to Israel and in 1948 after a harrowing journey they reached their dream land. They worked, prospered, found love, had children and grandchildren.....always together.
By balancing imagination with extensive research Ms. Morris skillfully chronicles the life of the sisters from childhood to old age and immersed us in their lives. Cibi, Magda and Livi are the ones telling the story and their voices shines through the author’s vivid and simple words. This is a fascinating and compelling account
“Three Sisters” came to life when Miss Morris was contacted by Livi’s son Oded Ravek and discovered their amazing story. In an Afterword, Oded sums up the novel as a testament to the power of love and devotion.
I never tired reading how against all odds some managed to survive years of imprisonment in the most notorious death camp in Nazi Germany: Auschwitz.
What a breath-taking conclusion. Well-done, well-said
I received a copy of this book from St-Martin Press via Netgalley for a honest and unbiased review.
