The Child of Auschwitz by Lily Graham

This is an interesting book. I read this kind of book to get some insight to a world I cannot comprehend. The Child of Auschwitz is very well written. Eva is one of the many women who are in Auschwitz. This is her story.
The story line shifts from Eva's time with Michael, including the time of the persecution of the Jews during the war. The other time line tells about her time at Auschwitz, looking for Michael and the birth of their own child.
It is easy to see how endurance would be needed to survive this camp, but this book deals with so much more.
The author did a great deal of research to capture the feeling of the time and relate it in this book. She isn't afraid to tell about the horrors of the camp but she builds in a sense of empathy too.
I saw this work as a way to remember that happiness can be found even in the most horrid of places. The happiness may just last a moment but it give something to hold onto.
I highly recommend this book to readers who enjoy historical fiction.
I was given this book by NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
