💫ALL OF THE STARS!💫 I was so caught up in this beautiful book that time flew by and I finished it in one sitting. I tend to love books based on this time period and Auschwitz Lullaby, centered around a strong female lead, did not disappoint. Helene is a full blood German but married and had five children with a Gypsy man. When the SS arrive to take her family, Helene makes the brave decision to go with her family. They are transported to Auschwitz and what follows is the harrowing tale of survival, love, and loss. Helene is a trained nurse and is sent to work at the hospital under the leadership of the notorious Dr. Mengele. The stories are sickening, heart-breaking, and serve as a reminder of this horrible regime. Helene is a brave, strong, loving Mama Bear and fiercely protects her cubs. I laughed, I cried, I felt her frustrations and fears. Thank you @thomasnelson for this advance reader in exchange for my honest review.
