Three Sisters by Heather Morris is the third book in the Tattooist of Auschwitz books。 It is the story of three Slovakian sisters: Cibi， the oldest， Magda， and Livi， the baby。 They made a promise to their father to always watch out for each other。 A promise they take to heart as they find themselves taken from their homes and imprisoned at Auschwitz。 They cling together as they suffer from starvation， overwork and the brutal whims of the guards。 As the allies are closing in and one last hurdle i Three Sisters by Heather Morris is the third book in the Tattooist of Auschwitz books。 It is the story of three Slovakian sisters: Cibi， the oldest， Magda， and Livi， the baby。 They made a promise to their father to always watch out for each other。 A promise they take to heart as they find themselves taken from their homes and imprisoned at Auschwitz。 They cling together as they suffer from starvation， overwork and the brutal whims of the guards。 As the allies are closing in and one last hurdle is overcome: the death march from Auschwitz。 Against all odds they survived the camp and now they must find a way to survive again。 But the fight for their lives and freedom are now truly beginning。 The sisters must face new challenges as the world comes to grips with the events of WWII and the horrible atrocities the Nazis committed。 Can they leave the ghosts of the past behind them as they strive to find a new life with peace and happiness？ Reading and studying the stories of Holocaust survivors， I always wondered would I have the same strength and courage to survive？ One never truly knows how they will respond to a situation until they are faced with it。 Inspired by a true story， the story of the sisters overlaps with those of Lale and Gita from The Tattooist of Auschwitz and Cilka， from Tattooist as well as her own story in Cilka’s Journey。 The story does not hold back on the vivid details of the horrors the sisters suffered and witnessed while at Auschwitz and even the continued prejudice once they were freed。 It is a beautiful story of the amazing courage， love and strength of three sisters。 There were times when I cried with the sisters， when I wanted to reach through the pages to hug each of them。 I eagerly turned each page， wanting and hoping they would find the peace and happiness they desperately wanted。 I highly recommend Three Sisters。 Three Sisters is available in hardcover， eBook， and audiobook。 The Tattooist of Auschwitz and Cilka’s Journey are available in paperback， eBook and audiobook 。。。more

Heather Morris has done it again！ Ms。 Morris has written this astonishing true story of three sisters who， against all odds， survived the horrors of Auschwitz。 Cibi， Magda， and Livi's story is extraordinary and Ms。 Morris has done an exceptional job of sharing their journey。She has also， once again， brought to light little known history: in particular， the towns of Haifa， Kfar Ahim， and Rehovot， where many survivors of the Holocaust settled in their country of Israel， where they finally felt acc Heather Morris has done it again！ Ms。 Morris has written this astonishing true story of three sisters who， against all odds， survived the horrors of Auschwitz。 Cibi， Magda， and Livi's story is extraordinary and Ms。 Morris has done an exceptional job of sharing their journey。She has also， once again， brought to light little known history: in particular， the towns of Haifa， Kfar Ahim， and Rehovot， where many survivors of the Holocaust settled in their country of Israel， where they finally felt accepted and safe。These stories of survival always leave me astonished and remind me of the many blessings I have and the many things I take for granted。 Though difficult to read， they always remind me if what is truly important in life。Many thanks to Erica at St。 Martin's Press for reaching out to me with this early review copy and NetGalley for providing it in exchange for an honest review。For more of my reviews， check out my blog at mamasgottaread。blogspot。com or follow me on Instagram @mamasgottaread 。。。。more

Inspired by a true story， the three Meller sisters make a promise to their father before he died to all stick together no matter what。 This becomes even more true as the Jews are being rounded up and taken to camps。 Magda was of the age that the Nazis were looking for。 As she was ill at the time， the doctor sent her to the hospital to protect her from being taken。 Then the age of the young people was lowered， and Livi was to be sent to the camps。 Cibi came home to go with Livi to protect her。 Al Inspired by a true story， the three Meller sisters make a promise to their father before he died to all stick together no matter what。 This becomes even more true as the Jews are being rounded up and taken to camps。 Magda was of the age that the Nazis were looking for。 As she was ill at the time， the doctor sent her to the hospital to protect her from being taken。 Then the age of the young people was lowered， and Livi was to be sent to the camps。 Cibi came home to go with Livi to protect her。 Although Magda wanted to be with her sisters， she was put in hiding until the time came for all Jews to be rounded up。 By some miracle the sisters all wound up in Auschwitz together。 The stories of the atrocities they endured are beyond horrifying， and how they managed to survive and keep their promise to their father is amazing。 The author’s description makes you feel the events they went through。 At the end of the book there are statements from some of the family members that are very inspiring。。。。more

The Three Sisters by Heather Morris is the third book in the Tattoo of Auschwitz series。 It is based on the true story of Cibi， Livi and Magda and their time during World War 2。 The book starts with the three sisters making their father a promise that they will always stay together， no matter what。 That promise stays with the girls for the rest of their lives。 When the guards come to take all the Jewish girls， Magda is in the hospital。 The doctor is keeping her there （even after her fever is gon The Three Sisters by Heather Morris is the third book in the Tattoo of Auschwitz series。 It is based on the true story of Cibi， Livi and Magda and their time during World War 2。 The book starts with the three sisters making their father a promise that they will always stay together， no matter what。 That promise stays with the girls for the rest of their lives。 When the guards come to take all the Jewish girls， Magda is in the hospital。 The doctor is keeping her there （even after her fever is gone） because he is hearing of the round up and is trying to keep her safe。 He assumes that Livi too young and at the time Cibi is off training， so the doctor assumes that all the girls would be safe。 He was wrong。 Magda was the only one he was able to protect。 Cibi who was home from training， went with Livi when the guards came to get her， remembering her promise to always stay together。 The girls were ultimately taken to Auschwitz and Birkenau。 Eventually the whole family winds up in Auschwitz， but before they could all reunite， the girls watch their mom and grandfather die at the hands of the Nazi's。 A lot of this book takes place after the War is over， and I love that！ It isn't easy for the girls though。。。 They realize that even though they have been freed ， they really aren't truly free。 They are still haunter by dream， by guilt， and still looked down on in their own country。 After the book is over， the afterwords are by members of the family， Livi and three of the sisters children。 Those are the most beautiful and touching parts of this book。 Thank you to Netgalley， St。 Martin's Press and Heather Morris for the eARC of this book in exchange for my honest review。。。。more

The third book in the Tattooist of Auschwitz by Heather Morris is equally as good as the previous two。 The Three Sisters is， as the name suggests， about three sisters and the ties that bind a family。 What sets this book apart is that roughly 40% is set after Cibi， Magda and Livi escape the camp and one-third of the story tells of their lives in the Promised Land。 As with Morris’ other two books， the story is true and was created with the help of many interviews。 At the end of the book are severa The third book in the Tattooist of Auschwitz by Heather Morris is equally as good as the previous two。 The Three Sisters is， as the name suggests， about three sisters and the ties that bind a family。 What sets this book apart is that roughly 40% is set after Cibi， Magda and Livi escape the camp and one-third of the story tells of their lives in the Promised Land。 As with Morris’ other two books， the story is true and was created with the help of many interviews。 At the end of the book are several afterwords — one from Livi and the others from descendants。 These end notes provide a sense of closure and validate that the story is about three real sisters and their time in Auschwitz and thereafter。When I’ve read books about the Holocaust， I find myself reading in disbelief because it is still so hard to believe that these atrocities happened and did so in the recent past， yet there is no doubt they did。 This story is filled with courage and hope as these girls struggle and succeed at staying alive。 It’s truly an amazing and inspiring story。 Morris， through one of the characters， raises the question on many readers’ minds — How could God let this happen？ I have no answers but appreciate that one of the sisters has such reservations and doubts about religion and spirituality。 I am sure that many who suffered in concentration camps also lost such faith。 “There will be no more praying， little sister。 No one is listening to us。”“… we needed God in those camps， and where was he？’ Cibi says， firmly。”Another major issue that survivors faced is how to heal and how to put these fears behind them。 These experiences led to severe PTSD， feelings that did not have a name back then and no way to deal with them。 “Is this her reality now？ Must she carry this crippling fear into her new life？ She may no longer be a prisoner， but will she ever be truly free？”“Cibi understands now: some things are just too awful to accept。 Maybe it’s a good thing—who knows what they may yet have to endure？ Maybe it’s a skill she too will have to learn to cultivate。”“Like Cibi， she has no idea if， when or how they will begin to heal。”Thank you to St。 Martin’s Press and NetGalley for an advance reader copy in exchange for my honest opinion。。。。more

Heather Morris has hit it out of the ballpark again with her storytelling related to the tragedy of Auschwitz。 Three Sisters follows three real-life sister survivors of the Auschwitz-Birkenau camps。 It is a stunning， heartbreaking and brutally honest portrait of survival and resilience and will long remain in my thoughts。 An extraordinary five-star read by the author of Tattooist of Auschwitz and Cilka’s Journey， books also well-deserving of 5-stars。

Thank you to NetGalley and St。 Martin's Press for an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review。 When I first saw the news about this book， I jumped at the chance to read it because I had enjoyed the author's previous books in the series， particularly The Tattooist of Auschwitz。 On paper， this story should be just as compelling as those previous books， but it falls completely flat because of extremely simplistic writing。 Even though this book is based on the true experiences of a Thank you to NetGalley and St。 Martin's Press for an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review。 When I first saw the news about this book， I jumped at the chance to read it because I had enjoyed the author's previous books in the series， particularly The Tattooist of Auschwitz。 On paper， this story should be just as compelling as those previous books， but it falls completely flat because of extremely simplistic writing。 Even though this book is based on the true experiences of a real family， the writing made it impossible for me to get invested in any of the characters。 At times， this book genuinely felt like it was written for teenagers。 It was ultimately a disappointment， especially given the author's previous works。。。。more

While I find it hard to rave about a book that looks so deeply into the lives of three women during WWII and shares their pain so accurately; I am without a doubt， incredibly thankful that I read Three Sisters by Heather Morris。 This is Morris’ third novel and it is totally on par with her previous two。 Three Sisters is a fact-based account of how three sisters， Livia， Magda and Cibi experience the horrors of being Jewish women in Nazi Germany。 While enduring the termoil of Nazi Germany， the thr While I find it hard to rave about a book that looks so deeply into the lives of three women during WWII and shares their pain so accurately; I am without a doubt， incredibly thankful that I read Three Sisters by Heather Morris。 This is Morris’ third novel and it is totally on par with her previous two。 Three Sisters is a fact-based account of how three sisters， Livia， Magda and Cibi experience the horrors of being Jewish women in Nazi Germany。 While enduring the termoil of Nazi Germany， the three women remain true to their pact to always stay together and find strength that most of us cannot even imagine。 Their stories don’t end when the war is over and Morris takes readers through their lives as they attempt to return to their hometown and then to create a new home all over Europe and into Israel。 Following each woman’s journey accurately depicts the fact that even though the war was over， their experiences have changed them for eternity。 I spent the entire time reading in awe of the women’s strength， their resilience and their dedication to each other。 Morris has the gift of creating words that come to life and readers will be transported back in time。 Three Sisters is a challenging read， as any accurate WWII book should be， but it is beautifully written and filled with hope and love。 I especially enjoyed the contributions by family members at the end of the novel and appreciated that they shared their family’s powerful history。 A sincere thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review。。。。more

Thank you Net Galley for an ARC for Three Sisters by Heather Morris。 Amazing story of three very brave sisters that spanned WW2 concentration camps to settling in for a reimagined life in Isreal after the war。 Even though this is #3 in the Tattooist of Auschwitz series， this story can stand on its own。 I really intrigued the story of their time and lives in Isreal and how they learned to trust people again。 The story of how the sisters survived the camps is heartbreaking。 The cruelty of people i Thank you Net Galley for an ARC for Three Sisters by Heather Morris。 Amazing story of three very brave sisters that spanned WW2 concentration camps to settling in for a reimagined life in Isreal after the war。 Even though this is #3 in the Tattooist of Auschwitz series， this story can stand on its own。 I really intrigued the story of their time and lives in Isreal and how they learned to trust people again。 The story of how the sisters survived the camps is heartbreaking。 The cruelty of people is just indescribable。 I would have liked more details about their time in their new country of Isreal and how they reestablished their lives。 I'm sure it had to be more challenging than the story told。 Well done Heather Morris on telling their story。SOME SPOILERS: Cibi， Magda， and Livi are three sisters that lived with their mother and grandfather in Slovakia。 Cibi and Livi were taken to Auschwitz and Birkenau。 Magda was temporarily saved by a kind doctor but eventually joined her sisters in the concentration camp。 After years of horrors and captivity， they escaped on a death march near the end of the war。 Through the help of strangers and others， the sisters stuck together and rebuilt their lives。 A few years later， Magda and Livi took on the adventure to resettle in the new land of Isreal to build a land where they are free to be Jewish。 Cibi eventually joined them with her new family。 They learned to live and establish a new normal for themselves They lived full and long， happy lives in spite the cruelty they experienced during their time at the camps。 I was amazed at the end of the story， Heather Morris included real life interviews， timelines， and background information of these three amazing women and their families。 For my ARC， it was about 800 pages but on Goodreads， the book is listed at 416 pages。 I'm not sure why the difference。 Regardless of page numbers， this is an outstanding story of survival。。。。more

I have read a lot of WWII fiction， and this one really captivated me。 I liked #1 and #3 in this series， but #2 fell flat for me。In this one， #3， the pages after the book was complete included letters from some of the family， and it was interesting to read those and learn how much of the story was based on actual events。I know that some people feel this category of books is overdone but the reality is there are still Holocaust deniers and anti-semitism is still very much around。

Three Sisters

Reviews

This book is about a promise made to a father by his three daughters。 The three daughters would experience such horrors and unimaginable things during the Holocaust。 Each one has a unique experience and find ways to heal and thrive in life。

A story of courage and family。 You can feel the anguish， pain and also the love within these characters。 We will never truly understand what they went through， but Heather writes a heartfelt and telling story about the past that we should never forget。
