For anyone who studies the Holocaust, this novel, which recounts the medical experimentation that took place at Ravensbruck, the all-female concentration camp, is a must-read. It follows the lives of Caroline Ferraday, a New York socialite who volunteers at the French consulate in New York, Kasia Kuzmerick, a Polish teenager who gets ensnared in the Polish Resistance, and Herta Oberheuser, a German medical doctor, who performs experiments on the prisoners at Ravensbruck, following orders of the Nazi regime. The details in the book are horrifying, yet true. This is another Holocaust story that must be told and remembered, so that it never happens again.
