About this listen

This story is dedicated to all the victims of sexual slavery in German concentration camps, who had to endure inhumane suffering under the Nazi regime. For many years after the atrocities had been committed, both sides - the abusers and the abused - still vehemently denied certain aspects of the Holocaust, and even the victims refused to admit the ugly truth about their incarceration, some out of fear, some out of shame, until several women decided to break an unofficial oath of silence, and brought their stories to life. This book is based on one of those stories. Emilia is a young Jewish woman, whose life slowly turns into a nightmare as she finds herself facing a dreadful choice: to secure her family's very existence by offering herself to one of the men who had put her behind the walls with barbed wire, or perish together with the least fortunate ones. Only, the Krakow ghetto and her very first abuser pale in comparison to what is yet to come, as she's being sent to a place that soon will turn into her own personal hell and that will scar her for life.

while the narration was a bit flat, the story was sad but an amazing feat of survival. thank you

Really enjoyed this book, which was well written. Well developed character arcs, good plot line and really interesting topic. However the narrator was appalling. Between the flat emotionless voice and the dreadful attempts at different accents, I almost gave up on this book. I would not buy anything with this narrator again.

Excellent novel, marred by the terrible narration.
