A review by laurenmidna
Lilac Girls by Martha Hall Kelly

5.0

As many Holocaust stories as there are, I find myself continuously horrified with each one. I keep waiting for it to lose its shock value. Lilac Girls is the same. Told from the perspectives of an American, a Polish prisoner, and a German camp doctor, the book was gripping to me from start until end. The author did an interesting job of helping me to understand everyone’s motives, even those that I strongly disagree with. I found all of the characters to be incredibly human and believable. Fascinating story, and mostly true, as well. Highly recommend!
