This is such an important book that everyone should read. These stories need to be heard and remembered, truly remembered, and taken to heart. There are moments from this book, moments from these women's lives, that I will never be able to get out of my mind.
This book is about so much more than the first transport of 999 Jewish girls to Auschwitz but rather all of the atrocities so many Jewish women endured before, during, and after their times at the death camps. It's meticulously researched and includes many, many interviews from survivors and their families. The author truly used her platform and skills to make sure these voices are heard, making this book all the more noteworthy.
