This book is based on a true story. Lale and Gita met in Auschwitz and fell in love. I listened to the audio and found it to be a powerful read. It's a book that will stay with you after you finish. As I visited Auschwitz during my trip to Germany in 2000, I was able to picture in my mind's eye the scenes as they were laid out. It is a book about love, courage and hope for survival for Lale and Gita. I was glad that Lale was about to reconnect with Gita after the war and they finally married. I highly recommend this book as I found it very hard to put down. Looking forward to reading the sequel, Cilka's Journey.
