Cilka's Journey by Heather Morris

Title:  Cilka's Journey

Author: Heather Morris

Review:

"Cilka's Journey" by Heather Morris is about a young, Jewish woman who has just been released from Auschwitz, where she was set apart from the other women in the camp for her beauty. The reader enters the story when she is being sentenced 15 years of hard labor by the Russians for sleeping with the enemy. While this story is filled with the trials and sorrow that surrounded Cilka, Morris also does a great job at capturing the deeply touching moments that Cilka gets to be a part of despite the unfairness of her situation. "Cilka's Journey" was an inspiration to me and it goes to show that even in death and destruction, we can always find a little friendship, love, and hope wherever we go.
