“Anger is what we feel when we’re helpless.”
Her beauty saved her—and condemned her. Cilka is just sixteen years old when she is taken to Auschwitz-Birkenau Concentration in 1942, where the commandant immediately notices how beautiful she is. Forcibly separated from the other women prisoners, Cilka learns quickly that power, even unwillingly taken, equals survival. When the war is over and the camp is liberated, freedom is no granted to Cilka. She is charged as a collaborator for sleeping with the enemy and sent to a Siberian prison camp. But did she really have a choice? And where do the lines of morality lie for Cilka, who was sent to Auschwitz when she was still a child? In Siberia, Cilka faces challenges both new and horribly familiar, including the unwanted attention of the guards. When she meets a kind female doctor, Cilka is taken under her wing and begins to tend to the ill in the camp, struggling to care for them under brutal conditions. Confronting death and terror daily, Cilka discovers a strength she never knew she had. When she begins to tentatively form bonds and relationships in this harsh, new reality, Cilka finds that despite everything that has happened to her, there is room in her heart for love. From child to woman, from woman to healer, Cilka’s Journey illustrates the resilience of the human spirit—and the will we have to survive.
Read Alikes for Cilka’s Journey: Three Sisters by Heather Morris; The Librarian of Auschwitz by Antonio Iturbe; The Alice Network by Kate Quinn; We Were the Lucky Ones by Georgia Hunter; The Midwife of Auschwitz by Anna Stuart
