Another hard and difficult Holocaust book. But then again, aren't they all!!!
This was about a little know concentration camp, Ravensbruck. An all female camp where sulfur experiments were done on some of the innocent women. I read these difficult books so these people will not be forgotten and honoring them by reading their stories.
Told in three voices, alternating chapters. Caroline, the socialite, Kasis, the teenage Polish girl and Herta, the German doctor.
Goodreads;
New York socialite Caroline Ferriday has her hands full with her post at the French consulate and a new love on the horizon. But Caroline’s world is forever changed when Hitler’s army invades Poland in September 1939—and then sets its sights on France.
An ocean away from Caroline, Kasia Kuzmerick, a Polish teenager, senses her carefree youth disappearing as she is drawn deeper into her role as courier for the underground resistance movement. In a tense atmosphere of watchful eyes and suspecting neighbors, one false move can have dire consequences.
For the ambitious young German doctor, Herta Oberheuser, an ad for a government medical position seems her ticket out of a desolate life. Once hired, though, she finds herself trapped in a male-dominated realm of Nazi secrets and power.
