Here is my review of  Auschwitz  Lullaby: Auschwitz Lullaby" by Mario Escobar is a historical fiction book that takes place during World War 11. It is moving and tells the story of a mother of five's story during an Auschwitz prison. She was a nurse and offered to work in the prison. She witnessed many heart breaking events. She tried to help and protect her children while she was in the prison. She could hardly protect them from the mean guards that ran the prison. She was asked to set up a nursery which was a way she could make life better for the children who suffered to survive each day. It was a good book but reminded me and showed me how terrible the prisons were at that time. I kept wondering how this all could have really happened. I appreciate netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to read and review this book. I will be sharing my review on Amazon, facebook, my blog, Goodreads.
