I think I would’ve appreciated it more as a nonfiction. Something where the stories of the Rabbits of Ravensbrück could be heard all together, and not the fictionalized version one that was told here. I also wish less time had been focused on Caroline’s fictional story. I do appreciate this book for introducing me to this horrific situation, as women during the Holocaust are not well represented. I had no idea that there was an all female concentration camp, and this book did a good job getting across the horror of what happened.

The second half of the book is much better than the first. The first 50% of the book alternates between 3 different female POVs and, as a result, I kept pinging between 3 different feelings - boredom, sadness, and shock. It had me feeling so downtrodden that I didn’t want to finish it. However…these atrocities are a part of history. They happened to real humans and, tragically, were committed by real humans. And their stories deserve to be heard, then to never happen again. As Norman Cousins wrote, “…what is told here is not a glimpse into the bowels of an imaginary hell but part of our world.”
