• “Narrator Louise Brealey impressively conveys the horror in this controversial sequel to The Tattooist of Auschwitz….Brealey excels with the many accents and diverse personalities of the prisoners, their relationships, and the demands of their heartless captors. The repetitious and overly graphic descriptions of injuries and Cilka’s unrealistic medical skills are somewhat ameliorated by Brealey’s measured delivery.”
