Summary "Historia Cilki, ocalonej przez Lalego Sokołowa, młodziutkiej dziewczyny, która przeżyła piekło. Miała szesnaście lat, kiedy trafiła do Auschwitz. Straciła rodzinę, a później została oskarżona przez komunistyczne władze o kolaborację i zesłana na piętnaście lat łagru. Opowieść o cierpieniu, ale też niezwykłej odwadze i miłości, która zrodziła się w niesamowicie trudnych warunkach. Hart ducha, niezłomność i próba zachowania człowieczeństwa - czy to wystarczyło, żeby przeżyć piekło? Kolejna książka Heather Morris, autorki, której Lale Sokołow zaufał i przed którą otworzył najgłębsze zakamarki duszy, żeby opowiedzieć prawdę o czasach Zagłady." -- Provided by publisher.
"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. After liberation, Cilka is charged as a collaborator for sleeping with the enemy and sent to Siberia. But what choice did she have? And where did the lines of morality lie for Cilka, who was sent to Auschwitz when still a child? In a Siberian prison camp, Cilka 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. Cilka begins to tend to the ill in the camp, struggling to care for them under brutal conditions. Confronting death and terror daily, Cilka discovers a strength she never knew she had. And when she begins to tentatively form bonds and relationships in this harsh, new reality, Cilka finds that despite everything that has happened to her, there is room in her heart for love. From child to woman, from woman to healer, Cilka's journey illuminates the resilience of the human spirit -- and the will we have to survive."-- From the American edition.
