Through HarperCollins UK, One More Chapter, and Netgalley, I am reviewing The Girl Who Survived Auschwitz:



Poland, 1944 The brakes squealed as the train slowed and stopped. Our wait in the carriage seemed endless, but eventually, the heavy doors opened, letting us see the chaos outside.



The train was carrying Sara Leibovits, a 16-year-old Jewish girl, as well as her family. Their horrific fate was sealed within minutes.



As the little family spent their final minutes together on the platform at Auschwitz, they were ordered in all directions and left to their own fates. Sara's mother and baby brothers were killed. As a Sonderkommando, her father was forced to remove the bodies from the gas chambers and later executed.



I give The Girl Who Killed Auschwitz five out of five stars!



Happy Reading!
