The Midwife of Auschwitz

Be ready to gut-wrenchingly sob throughout these pages. The author attacked a whole different perspective of the holocaust. This book tore me apart in every chapter. It was completely unputdownable despite the stress I went through in reading this.To even fathom the pain and torture these women went through is disturbing to another level. And the author was so graphic, you felt like you were there and felt the pain. 💔 the courage and strength these women had to endure... It's heartbreaking. And in the most disturbing way, this book was so very well written.

This book made me chuckle, brought me to tears, angered me at the injustice and inhumanity it exposed. The current political climate makes this an important book to read and remind ourselves to “love one another” and to care for every human being that crosses our path!

Absolutely loved this book. Was a gorgeous, well-written story with twists that keep so guessing.

I’m not one for historical fiction, but this one was lovely. Difficult at times, due to sensitive subject matter. But a really wonderful read.

I have always enjoyed books set pre, during and post WW2. This is a beautifully written but heart wrenching book. It is so descriptive that I felt immersed in the story. I cried a few times. I rated it 4 stars because there were things that went unanswered and ends that weren’t tied up, thats just hard as a reader but it does fit considering all the people who were left without answers in the wake of the war. The people who found ways to help eachother and fight back in such terrible circumstances were so inspirational.I would definitely recommend this book.

What an impossible situation to be in and to write about. It was well written and helps pay tribute to the strength of the human spirit. I had a hard time putting this book down as I was engaged in the lives of the characters. Thank you for a story to remind us the horrors of war are real.

I’ve just now finished this true story of The Midwife of Auschwitz. I’ve read many over the years and this is up there with this best. Of course it was emotional and at times heartbreaking. Hope was everything to some who were fortunate to have found ways to survive. Barely and through immense struggles but survive they did. The next book in this series is with me but I will save it for another time. I am exhaustedfrom ‘watching’ this in my mind’s eye.

Truly captivated me throughout the book and the ensuring nature that love can carry through the most difficult, unthinkable and unimaginable moments in our history.
