"From Heather Morris, the New York Times bestselling author of the multi-million copy bestseller The Tattooist of Auschwitz and Cilka's Journey: a story of family, courage, and resilience, inspired by a true story. Against all odds, three Slovakian sisters have survived years of imprisonment in the most notorious death camp in Nazi Germany: Auschwitz. Livia, Magda, and Cibi have clung together, nearly died from starvation and overwork, and the brutal whims of the guards in this place of horror. But now, the allies are closing in and the sisters have one last hurdle to face: the death march from Auschwitz, as the Nazis try to erase any evidence of the prisoners held there. Due to a last minute stroke of luck, the three of them are able to escape formation and hide in the woods for days before being rescued. And this is where the story begins. From there, the three sisters travel to Israel, to their new home, but the battle for freedom takes on new forms. Livia, Magda, and Cibi must face the ghosts of their past--and some secrets that they have kept from each other--to find true peace and happiness. Inspired by a true story, and with events that overlap with those of Lale, Gita, and Cilka, The Three Sisters will hold a place in readers' hearts and minds as they experience what true courage really is"--… (mais)

In a crowded niche the incredible research stands out, I somehow haven't read her earlier books but will definitely be reading them soon. The "hard parts" of the story were well done and not too graphic. ( )

Reading a Holocaust book is always a tough read, but seeing what the three sisters endured added a whole other layer, on top of the fact that this is based on a true story. These sisters really did lose their mother and grandfather and had to deal with Auschwitz, the death marches, and antisemitism.

Cibi, Magda and Livia fight to keep the promise that they made to their father to always be together and help one another no matter what. This is a promise that is increasingly hard to keep as the sisters are separated time and time again as the war rages on and then ends with the whole continent being turned upside down. From death camps to adjusting to freedom in a new country, the sisters each have their own unique stories and experiences, which really adds to the charm and heartbreak of this novel.

As with any WWII Holocaust story I wish this wouldn’t have ever happened to begin with. I think the author did a phenomenal job of keeping the integrity of the sister’s story.

My favorite part was the afterwards at the end of the novel that share notes from those that lived this story, the sisters themselves. There were so many moments that I was reading that I was trying to wrap my mind around the fact that this was based on a true story, but reading these notes really brought it all home. So many didn’t live to tell their stories, but I am so thankful that Cibi, Magda and Livia made it through and lived to tell the tale.

*I have voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book which I received from the publisher through NetGalley. All views and opinions expressed are completely honest, and my own. ( )

4.5/5
We are introduced to the three sisters of the Meller family Cibi, Magda and Livi ages seven, five and three respectively in June, 1929 in their home in Vranov nad Topl’ou in Slovakia . A day prior to a critical surgery their father makes them promise that they would always stay together and look out for one another.
Fast forward to WW2 Europe when in 1942 Livi is instructed to travel to “work” for the Germans. Cibi decides to accompany her so as to look out for her . Magda , who is unwell, is hidden under the care of Dr. Kisely in a hospital to keep her safe. The sisters are sent to Auschwitz and like the hundreds of thousands of Jewish prisoners in the concentration camps they are make to work and live in the most dire of conditions with a constant threat death from illness, starvation torture or simply on the whims of their Nazi jailors. Cibi tells her sister ,“We will eat stones, nails, and whatever we can get our hands on, but we must survive this place. Do you understand?”.
Cibi's bravery and intelligence and ability to create a rapport with the 'kapos' manages to save the sisters on multiple occasions from imminent danger , multiple bouts of illness and death. Livi, following in her sister's example also learns to take care of herself and her sister in the face of uncertainty and the horrific conditions in the concentration camps . In 1944 Magda is also sent to Auschwitz-Birkenau and the three sisters are reunited .When their mother and grandfather are killed in the camp they are left with only each other to turn to .Towards the end of WW2 with the Allies winning th ewar and the Russian Army advancing , the Nazis take a last stand and while on a death march the sisters escape and eventually after Germany is defeated find their way home only to find their family home forcefully occupied by another family. Disillusioned by the events of the last few years , they decide to move on from their hometown and work towards building a new life for themselves .
Any story based on the holocaust is difficult to read. Heather Morris’s Three Sisters takes us through the brutality of life in concentration camps and the aftermath of WW2 as experienced by the survivors of those camps. The author follows the sisters’ stories through the following years as they leave for Israel, get married and have families of their own and touches on themes of post traumatic anxiety and survivors’ guilt and how shared trauma impacts the lives of not only those who experience it first-hand but how it shapes the lives of the generations to come.
“The sisters share a hug that is about so much more than physical comfort. It is a bond which crosses time and space, which hurdles their pain and dulls their suffering. They each implicitly understand that mere distance will not break their bond.”
Poignant , emotional and heartbreaking Three Sisters is not simply a holocaust novel but is also a story of love and devotion between siblings and the power of love and family that carries one through the darkest of times . It is a story of survival and hope and finding a place for oneself in a world that has not been kind to you .The pictures and the notes towards the end of the book brings these characters to life for us and the testimonials from their descendants will make you smile through your tears. I was moved by The Tattooist of Auschwitz and Cilkas's Journey by the same author and Three Sisters did not disappoint. ( )

For me this was probably the most emotional of the series so far as the three sisters struggled to uphold the promise they made to their father as little children to always stay together. The Slovakian Hlinka Guards had other ideas and soon the family found themselves torn apart by the Nazi collaborators. Again this was another well researched novel with Heather Morris talking to Livia, Magda, and their families about their experiences before, during and after World War II. Therefore the story contains real events in their lives and how they survived the death camps and found freedom and a home in Israel. It is another rough reading experience as the women had to watch some of their family march to the gas chambers. It was interesting that we also got to see their lives after they were freed because the discrimination in Germany and Slovakia continued long after the Nazis regime ended. I thoroughly recommend this series. ( )

Thank you to NetGalley and St.Martin’s Press for the opportunity to read this novel. My voluntary review is my honest and unbiased opinion.

In Vranov nad Topl’ou, Slovakia Menachem and Chaya Meller raise their three daughters, Cibi (7yo), Magda (5 yo), and Livi (3 yo).
It’s June of 1929, Menachem had been living with a bullet that was lodged in his neck for the past 12 years since the Great War. He decides to have the surgery although he was told it was an extremely risky procedure. Before he has surgery he asks that his daughters all take care of each other. Unfortunately, Menachem dies on the operating room table leaving Chaya to raise the 3 daughters with the help of Yitzchak, Chaya’s father and Ivan, Chaya’s brother. In March 1942, Chaya has to make a difficult decision when Magda, now 17 yo, develops a fever and needs to be hospitalized. Cibi, who is 19 yo, has gone off to join the Hachshara which was a training program for young people to teach them survival skills. The ultimate goal was to escape and start a new life in Palestine. Because she is away she is unaware that her sister is sick until she returns home for a visit. It’s during her visit that she learns the unfortunate news that Magda is in the hospital and the Glinka Guards for Hitler announce that they are taking Livi to the camp even though she was only 15 years old. Cibi decides that she must honor her fathers wishes by going with Livi to the camp to protect her since Cibi had learned a lot living in the forest. Magda is kept in the hospital to protect her from the Germans until she realizes that both of her sisters are away in camp. Magda fights to join them in the camp as she felt her father would want them together.

The overlaps in places where they get tattooed by Lale Sokolov and see Gita who were characters in book one.this is a heart felt historical account of three real sisters who survived the unthinkable. The author includes notes at the end of the book regarding the real people on which the characters were based. The author also has the opportunity to meet the women and hear their remarkable life story. ( )
