Lovers in Auschwitz: A True Story by Keren Blankfeld

dark emotional informative inspiring sad tense fast-paced

I don’t like giving traversing to true stories especially a book of this nature, so I’m not going to. I really enjoyed this book, though I feel that I have read one too many holocaust books because some of the facts and of course the dates are so deep in my memory that they all start to sound similar. I did find that Lovers in Aushwitz doesn’t hold back when it comes to graphic details and backstories which I really appreciate. 

One feature I enjoyed was that instead of waiting to the middle or end of the book for photos, at the start of a few of the chapters a relevant photo or map was there and it helped tell the story. 

An inspiring and heartbreaking read and it will never cease to amaze and shatter me what holocaust survivors were able to live through and survive.
