The sequel to the International Number One Bestseller The Tattooist of Auschwitz, based on a true story of love and resilience.

In 1942 Cilka is just sixteen years old when she is taken to Auschwitz-Birkenau Concentration Camp. The Commandant at Birkenau, Schwarzhuber, notices her long beautiful hair, and forces her separation from the other women prisoners. Cilka learns quickly that power, even unwillingly given, equals survival.

After liberation, Cilka is charged as a collaborator for sleeping with the enemy and sent to a desolate, brutal prison camp in Siberia known as Vorkuta, inside the Arctic Circle.

Innocent and imprisoned once again, Cilka faces challenges both new and horribly familiar. When she makes an impression on a female doctor, Cilka is taken under her wing and begins to tend to the ill in the camp, struggling to care for them under unimaginable conditions. Cilka finds endless resources within herself as she confronts death and faces terror, each day a battle for survival. And when she nurses a man called Aleksandr, Cilka finds that despite everything that has happened to her, there is room in her heart for love.

Based on what is known of Cilka's time in Auschwitz, and on the experience of women in Siberian prison camps, Cilka's Journey is the breathtaking sequel to The Tattooist of Auschwitz. A powerful testament to the triumph of the human will in adversity, Cilka's Journey will make you weep, but it will also leave you with the remarkable story of one woman's fierce determination to survive, against all odds.

'She was the bravest person I ever met' - Lale Sokolov, The Tattooist of Auschwitz

About the Author

Born in New Zealand, Heather Morris is an international number one bestselling author, who is passionate about stories of survival, resilience and hope. In 2003, while working in a large public hospital in Melbourne, Heather was introduced to an elderly gentleman who 'might just have a story worth telling'.

Heather originally wrote Lale's story as a screenplay - which ranked high in international competitions - before reshaping it into her debut novel, The Tattooist of Auschwitz. Her second novel, Cilka's Journey, is the sequel to The Tattooist of Auschwitz.

‘Cilka’s Journey’ by Heather Morris

Reviewed in Australia on 1 July 2021

Characters are both tragic and inspirational. How anyone could triumph in such adversity is amazing. The care for each other was lovely and survival dependant on these friendships. Just keeping one’s sanity must have been a great challenge 🤗

How did they survive?

Reviewed in Australia on 4 December 2019

A wonderful story of survival and friendships. Another war we do not want, another German dictator we do not want, but true stories we do all need to know about.
The research Heather did for this book takes my breath away, and I will pass this book on to my Jewish family friends.

A History to forget and to Never forget

Reviewed in Australia on 27 July 2020

This book is amazing. Heather Morris captures the unimaginable strength of the human spirit in the face of horrors unbelievable to an ordinary human existence. Beautifully written. Shocking is Cilka’s tale. But her story is a story that has to be told and Heather Morris has done that beautifully.

Read after The Tattooist of Auschwitz

Reviewed in Australia on 3 August 2020

Verified Purchase

I really enjoyed this book, couldn't put it down, just as with The Tattooist of Auschwitz. I was nervous to read The Tattooist but it didn't go too deeply into the horrific details that I thought it might, which I was grateful for. Both of these books still give you a great understanding of the history though. I think I enjoyed Cilka's Journey a little bit more. Both are brilliant!

I just couldn't put this novel down. Just so hard to believe that these events happened in my lifetime
These revelations should never be hidden but taught in our school education. It portraits history that should never be brushed under the carpet!

Couldn't put it down. Just as captivating and emotionally triggering as the Tattooist of Auschwitz. Looking forward to more of these tales by Heather. I have learned more from these books than what was ever taught to me in schools .

I liked the way the author told the story. Shows how much the human spirit can overcome such hardship, terror and the friendships that are formed during a time of impossible odds against each individual.
Well written.

A must read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 October 2019

Pre ordered, dropped onto my kindle and read in 24 hours. This book is a hard but fascinating read. Having visited Auchwitz last month, you can put into perspective the hard life prisoners lived. Doing whatever they could to stay alive. So sad. A must read for all.

I was so looking forward to reading of Cilka's Journey to find out her story of how she came to be in Auschwitz.To say her journey was a traumatic one is an understatement,no one can really know what these people went through unless you walk in their shoes.Cilka has so many friends in the camp in russia and they support each other but there is always one bad egg and cilka is the victim of this womans hate.Cilka starts work in the camp hospital and becomes close to Dr Yelina who allows cilka to train as a nurse,the patients are treated with love and care by cilka and this is noticed when twice cilka and the dr save the life of the camp commandants daughter.I have really loved cilka's Journey which i think is worth more than 5* well done to Heather Morris.

I felt like I was part of Cilka’s Journey

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 October 2019

Verified Purchase

I read this book in a day. I loved The Tattooist of Auschwitz, also reading it in a day. I could not wait to get my hands on this book and hoped it lived up to my expectations and it certainly did. I could not put this book down. Like The Tattooist of Auschwitz, I felt like I was walking beside Cilka, sharing all of her experiences with her, and constantly willing her on. Heather Morris knows how to suck you in to the story! As a woman, I felt the initial chapters were tough to read but it is important to recognise the horrors of what these women were made to experience. What a story of hope, grit and determination and another book for the ages. Heather Morris makes you feel that there is hope in the most hopeless of situations. A beautiful story, beautifully written that I would recommend to anyone. Like The Tattooist of Auschwitz, Cilka’s Journey is a book that I will keep forever.

Humbling right to the core

Cilka.whst a girl what a woman
Survival was all she had.it was her strength to live and live a life in hell that made her strong.along with millions of others in the same situation.i cant begin to imagine the hell on earth that these brave people lived for many yrs.but we must never forget either.the next generations must be shown what horrors the past generations were capable of .can it happen again ?yes and its up to us to prevent it.
No human has the right to inflict the horrors of these war crimes on onother human no matter there race.colour religion.my heart goes out to the millions who suffered at the cruelty of men and women who thought they ruled the world.never again can it be allowed to happen.

Not as good as the Tatooist of Auschwitz

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 November 2019

Verified Purchase

I imagined this tale would have been a work of non-fiction. Perhaps I missed it on the book’s landing page on Amazon.
I really didn’t like the ongoing flashbacks, might have worked in a screenplay/movie but certainly not in a book. Far better to have built the character’s pre-war and during Auschwitz-Birkenau, this would have made the injustice and transition to incarceration by the Russians more of a stark contrast.
Shame, this sequel really didn’t work on many levels.
