Lilac Girls by Martha Hall KellyMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
The Lilac Girls is a well-research work of historical fiction whose timeline covers 20 years, from 1939-1959. The main characters are Caroline, a NYC-CT socialite; Kasia, a young Polish girl imprisoned with her mother and sister at the woman's prison, Ravensbrück; and Herta, a young, female German doctor who performs unspeakable operations on a group of women, who come to be known as the Rabbits. Although this is a difficult book to read, the story deserved to be heard. The courage and heartbreak and love comes alive in these pages.
