Tatuazysta z Auschwitz

Product Information

HIGHLY recommend to fans of The Tattooist of Auschwitz and historical fiction. This one is much darker than The Tattooist, but equally critical and a story that needs to be heard. I don't think I could've survived Auschwitz-Birkenau. I couldn't have survived the Vorkuta gulag in Siberia and most definitely, I wouldn't have survived both places. In Siberia, Cilka impresses one of the camp's female doctors with her skills and capacity for languages. The doctor offers her a job. A job like this has its advantages, but it may cause jealousy among the other women. Lale and Gita’s heartfelt, poignant, unconditional love and surviving story will always stay with me throughout my life. When you look at their photos, you feel like you’re touching a part of human history with your hands. This book shakes you more than you expected, making you question humanity, love, life, shameful part of the story that we never forget. It’s haunting, soul crushing, heartfelt, dark, intense but also inspirational and hopeful. It’s a great guide how to embrace our lives and learn our lessons from history and power of love, friendship. Based on a true story - Lale uses his education and knowledge of languages to get himself a job as the Tatowierer after each Jewish family must volunteer one young male for 'work'. This 'work' turns out to be the concentration camps on Auschwitz and Birkenau.

Some parts of this book are so dark, brutal, terrifying. All those torments, hunger, terror, humiliation, abuses the women suffered and learned to live with this inhuman conditions when the real war criminals out there resumed living their lives. Was it fair? Never and ever would be.One of the better modern 2nd World War books of the modernity. It's propaganda fiction, of course. I wouldn't go as far as to compare Nazis and Soviets. Let me explain why: The other nit: I don’t think Morris made the camp cold enough. She didn’t talk about the temperature much, and there were few scenes where we see people enduring frigid conditions. Most of us think of Siberia as being unbearably cold. Yet here I often forgot about the climate. I thought the harsh weather should have been ever-present.

If i was rating this book on the morals of this author i would give it one star. If i was rating this book on what people endured during the holocaust and the years afterwards I would give it five stars. I am therefore giving this book three stars. The Year is 1942 and Cilka is only sixteen years old when she is taken to Auschwitz-Birkenau Concentration Camp. She was a beautiful girl. She was raped and sexually abused by two S.S. Officers. She does whatever she has to do, to stay alive and survive. The real live Soviet gulags were as bad as the Nazi concentration camps, even if they didn't have the gas chambers, ovens, and medical experiments. The prisoners were slaves, to be starved and worked to death and replaced by more slaves, there were always more bodies to replace those that fell. I'd been unaware of the details of places like this and now I know about one more historical horror. Cilka's Journey is a moving story and I'm glad I read it.She sobs silently at the hopelessness she suddenly feels for her future and the people who will never be in it. (c) There was such inhuman, unimaginable misery, such a terrible disaster, that it began to seem almost abstract, it would not fit with in the downs of consciousness”. There are certain books that tell a story so important that it overrides other aspects of itself, and therefore can overcome certain narrative shortcomings. The Hate U Give, for e
