Born Survivors by Wendy Holden
4.0

A really wonderful book. A fascinating look at three women's lives, all of whom gave birth in concentration camps and survived with their babies. It covers their whole lives (although obviously focusing on the Holocaust), so it felt more like a biography than solely a Holocaust book. I was utterly enthralled.

I did find that it covered a fair amount of basic information, which was dull for me to read, and I struggled with keeping the three women's stories separate. But all in all, truly fantastic. I'd highly recommend this to anyone interested in the time period.
