Three Sisters

Product Information

In Slovakia, years before World War II, the three young Meller sisters made a promise to their ill father that they would always stay together. Their promise would be tested in 1942 when the Nazis started to round up all the Jewish teenagers. Middle sister Magda, age 17, was sent to the local hospital for protection while Cibi, the oldest at 19 and young Livi, age 15, were rounded up and told they were being sent to do work for the Germans. They were transported and sent to a compound of barbed wired buildings with an entry sign reading Arbeit Macht Frei. They were sent to Auschwitz. Following her bestselling books - The Tattooist of Auschwitz and Cilka?s Journey - Three Sisters is the emotional new story from Heather Morris, set in Auschwitz.

Three Sisters is the final book in The Tattooist of Auschwitz trilogy. I read the first and second and have been looking forward to where the story would go next. Over a year later, Andrey and Natasha are married with a baby boy. They live in the sisters’ house, and Natasha runs things while Olga and Irina are at work. Andrey is secretary of the Distinct Council but still dreams about his abandoned hope of becoming a professor. His only confidant is his elderly servant, Ferapont.She’s going to be fine. It’s a fever, nothing a healthy young girl can’t recover from in her own time.” Livi turns to her father, her eyes dancing, the giggle in her throat threatening to explode, the warmth of his smile melting her little heart. “I pwomise, Father. Livi pwomises.”

For those that have read the previous two books, there are brief appearances of Lale, Gita, and Cilka. I would say this can be read as a stand-alone though. There aren't many Auschwitz/Birkenau survivors left but Heather Morris was able to talk with Livia, Magda, and their families, in 2019/2020, about their experiences before, during and after their lives in the concentration camps. The story is made up of real events from their lives and then afterwards, when they are still reviled by many in their home country. Later all three sisters make their way to their new homeland of Israel. The stories of millions ended during the war and the concentration camps and it is inspiring to read that there are some survivors who were able to go on and have families and fulfilling lives after their near death experiences. The story makes clear the feelings of guilt all the survivors felt, in some way or another, for living through what so many did not. The story is told simply, from the point of view of the girls, while they try to hold true to their promises to their father, throughout their lives.Three Sisters is an evocative, beautifully written, touching tale predominantly set during WWII that takes you into the lives of the Meller sisters, three young Jewish women from Slovakia who, through remarkable perseverance and a long-held promise, manage to bind together to survive hell on earth, the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp, and somehow still manage to go on to marry, have children, and live out the rest of their days in Tel Aviv surrounded by love. A heartbreaking story of love and survival based on the incredible true story of the Meller sisters, as told to Heather Morris.

I enjoyed the Author’s Notes at the end. The straight history about the characters ‘was’ interesting to me… Magda and Cibi nod, and Cibi asks, suddenly serious: “I do, Father, but why would someone want to take us away from each other?”Overall, this was barely an “ok” read for me. Many readers will love this for being a heartwarming, lighter wartime read. I feel that readers who have followed along in this trilogy will find this last book less intense and impactful. It was more of a cute, feel-good story than a powerful, emotional one. It failed to offer anything new and felt drawn out and repetitive. I strongly recommend reading Book 1 & 2 in this series and then adjusting your expectations for this one as it’s a completely different kind of read.

Sobretodo este libro es una historia de supervivencia, donde veremos como el ser humano es capaz de seguir adelante, aunque siempre tengas en la cabeza el horror de lo que has vivido, una novela donde se valor el amor de la familia, el sentimiento de culpabilidad que tienen muchos prisioneros… Wolf, Matt (27 May 1990).

Magda, aged seventeen, stays with her mother and grandfather, hiding out in a neighbour’s attic or in the forest when the Nazi militia comes to round up friends, neighbours, and family. She escapes for a time, but eventually she too is captured and transported to the death camp. From international bestselling author Heather Morris comes the breathtaking conclusion to The Tattooist of Auschwitz trilogy. These three sisters somehow survive and escape the death camps, moving across Europe, to Slovakia, and to Israel with astounding force and determination. Their love for each other and their unique bond knew no bounds.
