The Storyteller of Auschwitz by Siobhan Curham


Expected publication date: July 13, 2023

Etty is a successful author. She has published four books and has just completed her 5th book in the installment. Etty finds out thru her publisher that they it is now illegal to publish books written by Jews and as a result of that they will be unable to publish hers. Etty is understandably angry and heartbroken. What she doesn't know yet is that her heartbreak will increase 10 fold and she will find herself amongst others fighting for survival at Auschwitz. 

Etty uses her story abilities to help keep spirits up amongst the other women suffering under the autoricites of Hitler. Etty's gift of storytelling helps her forge bonds with other women in the camp and from them they are able to gather strength to go on despite the horrors that met them everyday. 

Curham's writing is powerful and emotional. This novel like others about the Holocaust put me in a dark, depressing place but they are important to read and to remember those who died and those who  survived. #NeverAgain

** I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
