Her beauty saved her life – and condemned her.

Cilka is just sixteen years old when she is deported to the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. Commander Schwarzhuber notices her beautiful long hair and orders her removal from the other prisoners. Cilka quickly learns that power, even if gained unwillingly, means survival.

After liberation, the Russians accuse Cilka of collaborating with the Germans and send her to a remote, inhumane gulag in Siberia. Innocent but imprisoned once again, Cilka faces new and terrifyingly familiar hardships. But when she meets Alexandr, she discovers that, despite adversity, there is still room in her heart for love.

Cilka’s Journey is a harrowing testimony to the triumph of the human spirit. The unwavering determination of a woman to survive, against all odds, surprises and inspires.
