Three Sisters is based on a true story。; It tells of Cibi， Magda and Livi and their promise to their father to always stay together。 They are sent to Auschwitz where they manage to survive， against all odds。 Afterwards， they stay together through the difficulties that await them after the "Death March。"The sisters see a great deal of horror in the camp and afterward。 They are haunted by their experiences。 Yet through it all， they manage to persevere and move forward to live their lives。 I think Three Sisters is based on a true story。; It tells of Cibi， Magda and Livi and their promise to their father to always stay together。 They are sent to Auschwitz where they manage to survive， against all odds。 Afterwards， they stay together through the difficulties that await them after the "Death March。"The sisters see a great deal of horror in the camp and afterward。 They are haunted by their experiences。 Yet through it all， they manage to persevere and move forward to live their lives。 I think what made the biggest impact on me was the realization that these three women went on to have their own individual families。 If they hadn't survived， none of their children would have been born which would have negated entire branches of the family tree。 It was quite fascinating to contemplate how much three lives could impact the future。Three Sisters gives a little different look into the Holocaust and its aftermath。 As in the past， Ms。 Morris did a wonderful job at finding the right words to fully describe these characters and their story。Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC。 I voluntarily chose to review it and the opinions contained within are my own。 。。。more

Three Sisters by Heather Morris （Auschwitz #3） is an excellent book。 This is not my first book by this author。 I thought she did an awesome job with Cilka’s Journey， but this book is even better。 Also while it is billed as book #3 in a series these stories are easily stand alone。 While there is one or two characters that have appeared in books one and two they are minor reprisals of these characters。As the title implies， this is the true story of three Jewish sisters born in Slovakia。The sisters Three Sisters by Heather Morris （Auschwitz #3） is an excellent book。 This is not my first book by this author。 I thought she did an awesome job with Cilka’s Journey， but this book is even better。 Also while it is billed as book #3 in a series these stories are easily stand alone。 While there is one or two characters that have appeared in books one and two they are minor reprisals of these characters。As the title implies， this is the true story of three Jewish sisters born in Slovakia。The sisters， Cibi， Magda and Livi， make a promise to their father， at a very young age， that they will always protect one another。 They survived against all odds。 This promise will be tested over and over again。Most of us have heard about stories of the holocaust and the horrific inhumanity that the Jewish people suffered during their imprisonment at the death camps like Auschwitz – Birkenau during WWII。 The story of the three sisters takes place when they were children and follows them through the cruelty， heartbreak， illness and physical deterioration that occurred to the sisters during the Holocaust and eventually follows the women into their adulthoods。 The sisters eventually return to Slovakia after their time in the camps。 They find now it is under Communist rule。 They find their familial home occupied by people who ‘stole’ their house during the war。 Determined to make a new life they eventually settle in the new state of Israel。 It is in Israel where they find their new home。The story is wonderfully written and moves along at a good pace。 It is a difficult book to review due to the subject matter。 To say it was excellent sounds odd but correct。 It is a powerful story of resilience， promise， commitment， courage， hope， family and love。 The Three Sisters is meticulously researched and is a beautiful and thought provoking story and I wholeheartedly urge you to read it。 Heather Morris has a gift at bringing these stories to life。 I think that I was flabbergasted when I read the Epilogue， Author’s Note and the Afterwords。 Blown away would also be a good description。 To find out that while this story is listed as Historical Fiction， in truth it is a biography of the Meller Sisters。 I have so much respect for Ms。 Morris for bringing these stories into the light。 She has become one of my favorite authors。 I am always anxiously awaiting the release of her next book。 Well done！If you haven’t yet read The Tattooist of Auschwitz and Cilka’s Journey I urge you to make the time to do so。 I would like to thank the author， St。 Martin’s Press and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

Three Sisters will affect you like no other book。 Cibi， Magda， and Livi vowed to always stay together， no matter what。 That vow is kept through separation and despair。 I love that it’s based on a true story。 One of the most heart wrenching scenes is with their mother and grandfather at Auschwitz。 It’s a remarkable story and I was a puddle of emotions while reading it。 I loved the afterwards where it’s explained about the real sisters。 Sisterhood is an unbreakable bond with these three， no doubt Three Sisters will affect you like no other book。 Cibi， Magda， and Livi vowed to always stay together， no matter what。 That vow is kept through separation and despair。 I love that it’s based on a true story。 One of the most heart wrenching scenes is with their mother and grandfather at Auschwitz。 It’s a remarkable story and I was a puddle of emotions while reading it。 I loved the afterwards where it’s explained about the real sisters。 Sisterhood is an unbreakable bond with these three， no doubt about it。 Thanks to St。 Martin’s Press and NetGalley for the early read。 。。。more

A poignant tale of family， strength and hope。 Reading to the end and finding out how this book came about made it much more meaningful。 The trauma endured and the bond that these sisters maintained through their lives is nothing short of miraculous。 Heather Morris weaves the story together in a way that honors these individuals and their experiences。 I highly recommend this for fans of historical fiction。

A powerful tale of the bonds of 3 sisters during what was the worst time in history。 We hear the horror stories of the events in the Nazi concentration camps。 The sisters stick together and somehow are still able to have love and hope。 I highly recommend this book。

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 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。 Heather Morris， author of The Tattooist of Auschwitz and Cilka’s Journey has again adapted a true-life story in her new historical novel。 As with the first two books， which I was very moved by， Three Sisters details the harrowing experiences of a family during wartime and beyond。 From a loving， peaceful existence in Vranov to a horrendous period that continues to defy reason。 And later in Israel， where survivors worked to rebuild their lives with the mental and visible scars serving as constant reminders of all what they had experienced and those they had lost。The author brings us into the day-to-day horrors of Auschwitz and Birkenau while showing how the love of family and the will to survive can bring about remarkable resiliency。 This is a not a new theme and other books have heartbreakingly taken readers into the depths of the concentration camps。 But knowing this is a true story （with some fictional elements） makes it all the more impactful。 And as hard it is to read of the suffering， it is also uplifting to learn of life after the war filled with children and grandchildren。 It is painful， however， to think of all the children and grandchildren who were never born because so many did not survive。 Books like Three Sisters keep us remembering this。Note that while Morris’ three novels are presented as a trilogy， they are essentially standalone books。 Each one is worth reading in any order you choose。Many thanks to St。 Martin’s Press and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this powerful book in advance of its October 5， 2021 release date。Rated 4。5 stars。Review to be posted on MicheleReader。com closer to publication。 。。。more

Three Slovakian sisters promise their father that they will be there for each other， no matter what。 Heather Morris’ book， Three Sisters， details the stories of theses Jewish sisters during WWII and into the future。 The youngest and oldest sisters， Livi and Cibi， are rounded up to “work for the Germans。” Part 2 of the book is aptly titled ‘The Gates of Hell。’ The girls are tattooed with numbers， shaved， starved and forced to labor in Auschwitz and Birkenau。 “There is no let-up in their treatment Three Slovakian sisters promise their father that they will be there for each other， no matter what。 Heather Morris’ book， Three Sisters， details the stories of theses Jewish sisters during WWII and into the future。 The youngest and oldest sisters， Livi and Cibi， are rounded up to “work for the Germans。” Part 2 of the book is aptly titled ‘The Gates of Hell。’ The girls are tattooed with numbers， shaved， starved and forced to labor in Auschwitz and Birkenau。 “There is no let-up in their treatment: despite the raging heat， the daily abuse of their bodies and minds continues。” Winter was even worse。 The brutality and hopelessness of their situation seems to go on forever。 The sisters （and a few other kind souls） help each other survive。 Meanwhile， Magda， the middle sister hides at a neighbors’ or in the forest， as the roundups of Jews grows。 I’ll not give away spoilers， but the siblings are reunited。 The second half of the book is more hopeful， with the sisters beginning new lives in Israel。 Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for providing an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

I really enjoyed this book。 I had already read The Tattooist of Auschwitz and knew what to expect from this author。 I was able to connect to the sisters and the story is so so touching！！ I will say that the energy from the first half of the book， at about 60% through， I did feel that the energy dropped and the going was a bit slower。

My least favourite of the 3 books as it was a bit slow and long。 Can be read as a stand-alone as the characters from the previous books are only mentioned in passing。 Thanks to Beauty and Lace and Random House for my copy for review。

4。5 stars。 I received this book from a goodreads giveaway。 I hadn’t read the first 2 books in the trilogy so I felt like I needed to do that before reading this one。 This is my favorite by far in the trilogy。 I loved the emotion that was evoked and the hope and strength theme that endured through the whole story。 Beautiful story and so glad Heather Morris was able to write about about。

Three SistersI am not sure there are any words to describe this wonderful book。 Only the knowledge that this story is true and that three sisters could live to tell their story through the horror， fear， devastation and heartbreak of not only themselves but so many， many others， is a testament to their resilience and love for each other。 A promise is a promise and I am glad that Cibi， Magda and Livia lived to keep their promise。 I received an advanced copy of this book from NetGalley， St。Martins Three SistersI am not sure there are any words to describe this wonderful book。 Only the knowledge that this story is true and that three sisters could live to tell their story through the horror， fear， devastation and heartbreak of not only themselves but so many， many others， is a testament to their resilience and love for each other。 A promise is a promise and I am glad that Cibi， Magda and Livia lived to keep their promise。 I received an advanced copy of this book from NetGalley， St。Martins Press and the author， Helen Morris。 The above comments and review are my own opinion。 。。。more

Three Sisters is a wonderfully powerful book。 It focuses on three sisters who made a promise to their father to watch out for each other always。There are many books about the concentration camps in WWII but this is the first book I’ve read that told the story after WWII。 As I read books set in this time period I always look for hints from other books and I find many。 It is because many books are based on actual events， events we should never forget。 I loved reading every word of this book becaus Three Sisters is a wonderfully powerful book。 It focuses on three sisters who made a promise to their father to watch out for each other always。There are many books about the concentration camps in WWII but this is the first book I’ve read that told the story after WWII。 As I read books set in this time period I always look for hints from other books and I find many。 It is because many books are based on actual events， events we should never forget。 I loved reading every word of this book because of the sisters strength during and after the war。 。。。more
