Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Cilka is just sixteen years old when she is taken to Auschwitz-Birkenau Concentration Camp, in 1942. The Commandant at Birkenau, Schwarzhuber, notices her long beautiful hair, and forces her separation from the other women prisoners. Cilka learns quickly that power, even unwillingly given, equals survival.
"From the author of The Tattooist of Auschwitz comes a novel based on an incredible true story of love and resilience. At sixteen, Cilka is taken to Auschwitz where the Commandant at Birkenau notices her beauty. After liberation, she is sent to Siberia as a collaborator for sleeping with the enemy where she faces challenges both new and horribly familiar, including the unwanted attention of the guards. But when she makes an impression on a woman doctor, Cilka is taken under her wing and in caring for the ill finds there is room in her heart for love."--Provided by publisher.
