A love story WW2 leaves you breathless
I picked this book to read as was curious by the title “Return to Auschwitz”. Why would someone would go back to this terrible place when they live it through at terrible time. This is the second book I’ve read by Kevin Paul Woodrow. I must say this book is short and an incredible and brilliantly story written, and an opening page turner from the first to the end. This is a very romantic where that led so beautiful and heartbreaking that story will leave you breathless. The story unfolds Peter Florea, Hungarian, 16 years old Jewish boy who makes a terrible choice to voluntarily to a “work camp”. He discovered it is a death camp, however he notices a beautiful 16 year old Polish girl, Margo Koval. Their eyes meet and an instant attraction at first sight. They fall madly in love. Two days before Auschwitz was liberated. He watches Margo march out of the camp. Did he find his true love at last? As a result, I loved reading a romance story and the author did wrote an easy, flowing, and very captivating where you have to keep reading to see how it all ends.

Return to Auschwitz by Kevin Paul Woodrow
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
I picked this book to read as was curious by the title and after reading many books of this nature why someone would want to return to Auschwitz when having to live through it.
The story follows a boy called Peter who volunteers to go “work” in Auschwitz without understanding what he was truly facing.
I honestly don’t want to give any details a way but it is an interesting story and doesn’t focus on the whole events of Auschwitz.
A story of sadness, survival, hope, strength and LOVE!

Love transcends everything negative in your life
This book had so much sadness in it and cruelty, in the concentrztion camps, but the full story made me realize just how love will help you overcome anything. I recommend this book to anyone wanting to read a true accoint of the concenration camps and how people who survived them made new lives for themselves. An inspiring true account of a time in history that must not be forgottrn.

Good
Enjoyed this book very much although at times it can be a bit slow. The way it's written makes it incredibly easy reading. Would recommend.
