It’s hard for me to review this book. On one hand the content of this book is heartbreaking. We all know the history of WWII and the atrocities that happened to all the poor victims of this war. Life inside Auschwitz/ Birkenau was horrifying and to hear about what happened to the mothers and pregnant woman in that camp was inhumane. With that being said I did not enjoy this book. I feel like the writing was pretty basic and repetitive. I didn’t really connect with the content until I researched the towns and photos from the real life settings of the book. It sort of felt like a “light” version of history, sort of like I was reading an American Doll book. I’m not a big fan of historical fiction usually. I think if I’m reading about an event or time period I would rather read a nonfiction historical account of what actually happened! Journalist and author Dagmara Leszkowicz is working with Stachurska and Malec on the script.

Leszczyńska’s legacy lived on long after the liberation of Auschwitz—both in the memories of the survivors whose babies she attempted to give a dignified birth, the lives of the few children who left the camp alive, and the work of her own children, all of whom survived the war and became physicians themselves. Siempre que estos teman incluyen a los niños es todavía más dura la historia, pero me ha gustado mucho saber como trataban a las madres y a los recién nacidos. Hay un gran trabajo de investigación con hechos reales, como consiguieron localizar niños robados y sobre todo me ha gustado encontrar personajes de los que ya he leído con anterioridad como Mala y Edek. I am not entirely sure whether the characters in this book are based off of real people, regardless - this is some seriously skilled storytelling.This book is written in third person perspective and the main protagonists are Ester Pasternak and Ana Kaminski. The benefits of third person perspective with multiple protagonists are that it let's you see the bigger picture of what's going on and you get to know more characters more, what they are thinking and what they are doing. It feels like you get to see the whole picture and not miss out in anything. The fact there are multiple protagonists is even better as it increases the readers knowledge of what more characters are doing and feeling.
