Interesting story told from three people's views. During the Holocaust, a woman and her husband are taken to the camps for working with the resistance. They are separated,and she ends up working in the camp brothel. The women are used to reward prisoners for good behavior, but she catches the eye of an SS officer. His story and hers are told,as is one from another political prisoner. This one, Luciano,in Argentina in 1977. I kept waitng to see how they would connect. This is about the horrors of the concentration camps in WWII. I am very much interested in reading stories from that time.Very graphic details.
