January 1945. As Auschwitz falls, Rachael Kisch joins the death march toward Dachau, freezing, starving, and clinging to one desperate hope: to find her brother Hannes. When she is forced to work in a Nazi print shop forging false identities for escaping officers, she risks her life again to sabotage their plans and save others.

Liberation brings new struggles. The war may be over, but returning home to the Netherlands means facing famine, loss, and a nation that has forgotten its Jews. Yet through grief and resilience, Rachael refuses to surrender her will to live or her determination to remember.

My Thoughts:

This is book 3 in the Rachael Kisch Trilogy and can be read as a standalone like I have but if you want more of Rachael’s story then I suggest reading the first two books first. It is set in 1945, it is all about the Death March where the Jews did not know where they were being led and what would happen to them. In such awful conditions it makes you appreciate what you have. I did feel very sad for them all and it was also sad to read the statistics that are covered at the end of this very powerful read. You just cannot ever imagine what these poor people went through. It is such an emotional and heavy read that I had to read it in chunks. It was a lot to take in. It follows Rachael and we see where her journey goes and I was really hoping as she is such a strong woman that she would survive. A good story with a powerful ending.

I received an ARC copy of this book for an honest review.
