The sisters promised their father that they would always stay together, but can that happen when WWII begins and one of the sisters is summoned by the Germans?

Livi is ordered to report to the train station and to Auschwitz. Her sister Cibi can‘t let her go alone so she reports too.

This is a true story told to Heather Morris by two of the three sisters who are still living in Israel with their extended family.

First read of 2024.
This was such a good read with so many powerful messages and insights. The narrative is neatly interwoven with anecdotes of the period giving you a glimpse of the horrors that happed during the holocaust. Yet the message about hope and strength is very clear. The world is full of cruelties but there is always some kind spirit around!!

Three sisters survived the horrific conditions of Auschwitz with courage, determination and a promise to stick together. A very powerful and moving story. Highly recommend this and the previous two books in the series.

Incredible true story. Not the best written book, but an entire generation of Holocaust survival is revealed in this book.

Brilliant, as expected.
Morris has the ability to write the journey of her characters in a way that you feel as if you're there with them.
This felt a little rushed towards the end, and it was my least favourite of the series. TTOA is outstanding, but Cilka will always have a piece of my heart.
Very well written, quick paced, and emotional.

My boyfriend and I visited Auschwitz-Birkenhau several years ago. It still haunts me when I talk about it or read any books about it.
If you ever get the opportunity to visit, do. It's the most surreal, heartbreaking, and terrible place you will ever visit. Passing through the gates with those famous words is awful. And the gas chamber is horrific.

I'm currently reading the tagged book, and it's brought so many memories back of our visit. 😔

This was recommended by a student! It was a pretty powerful read. I haven't read any other Heather Morris books, but I will now. I felt the writing style was a bit sparse and straightforward.... but because this was a true story, and a gut wrenching one at that, maybe that was a good thing!?

The third instalment from the author Heather Morris .. who wrote The Tattooist of Auschwitz!! This was by far my favourite of the three books (mostly for the somewhat happy ending). I wanted to eat this up in a day but at the same time I enjoyed taking my time .. such an emotional book!

This book was heartbreaking but also so uplifting and hopeful! The fact that it‘s based on 3 real sisters who went through these horrific experiences made it that much more poignant. And I love that the story continues after the war to let us see how the experiences shaped them. The narrator was great as well and the afterward was spectacular. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

BookBabe Sounds interesting! 3y

This wasn't my favorite in the series so far, but still a good story. I'm glad that Heather Morris is taking the time to research and tell these experiences that would otherwise die with those that lived them.

The tale of the three Mellar sisters, Sibi, Magda, & Livi, based on a true story. Some creative liberty is taken, but it remains primarily accurate & so hard-hitting that it is at times incredibly difficult to read. The atmosphere & characters are mesmirizing with many moments that I felt my breath stolen by the narrative. The power of the sisterly bond is beautifully displayed. There is so much hope in this tale. Incredibly moving.

Another brilliant entry from Heather Morris. This chronicles the lives of three teenage sisters who find themselves sent to Aushwitz-Birkenau as WW11 rages across Europe. Originally from Slovakia, the sisters survive years of starvation and hard labor at the hands of the Nazis. These stories always both enrage and amaze me. Heather Morris is a talented writer who weaves these tales of true people into a fictionalized narrative. Always a pleasure.

Congrats to Heather Morris on the release of her new book, Three Sisters! This book intersects with The Tattoo of Auschwitz and Cilka‘s Journey. This is a tear jerker and takes the reader not only into Auschwitz but also to Israel. Such a good read

PUBLISHES TODAY ~ Oct 5

A fictionalized story based on three sisters from Slovakia, who make a promise to their father, to always stay together. Little do they know, just how far this promise will test them. When Livi, age 15 is rounded up by the Hlinka Guard, her older sister Cibi, 19 volunteers to join Livi for “work detail”. Middle sister Magda, is hospitalized and unaware that her sisters are being taken to “work” for the Germans. 👇🏼

Cinfhen So begins a 2.5 year nightmare. The sisters are sent to Auschwitz, where they are faced with atrocities and cruelties unimaginable. What saves the girls time & time again is their wits, determination, resilience and promise to stay together at all costs. The afterwards in this novel brought so many tears to my eyes. The sisters survive to lead successful lives filled with many generations of proud, strong willed Jews. Every new life is a victory 3y
Cinfhen against Hitler and his plan of annihilation. While this book lacked some of the emotional elements I felt in both The Tattooist of Auschwitz and Cilka‘s Journey, Heather Morris does capture the intensity, compassion and will to bare witness. 3y

Based on the true story of Jewish sisters from Slovakia who made a promise to their father to always be there for one another, I found Three Sisters to be just as impactful as the other stories we've experienced through Morris' retellings. She masterfully details the atrocities and the unimaginable suffering that traumatized and took the lives of so many. Cibi, Magda, & Livi show the world that hope can perservere even in the toughest of times. ⁣

This author has written another heartfelt, painful, soul touching story of how the Jews were treated. What they endured and how some survived. Another book based on hundred percent on facts. Make sure you read everything at the end. All the things, posts, Afterwards from each person. The one from Livia Ravek really touched me. This author did a great job capturing the essence of these three sister's journey through hell and back. Job well done.
