MY THOUGHTS:
Orli was betrayed by her husband because he discovered that she was a German resistance fighter. When she first arrived at Auschwitz she expected to be killed for her betrayal. But that didn’t seem to be the case. She was assigned to the infirmary as a nurse. She was ordered to assist Dr. Josef Mengele. He was known as the Angel of Death because anyone that arrived in the infirmary for medical attention, ended up dead. Dr. Mengele was killing them and using them as experimentation. So, Orli decided to save as many people as possible and began working for the resistance from inside Auschwitz. She risked her own life once agin to save those that couldn’t save themselves.
I Have to Save Them written by Ellie Midwood is a heartbreaking story, inspired by true events. When this book became available, I knew I had to read it. With Ellie Midwood as a favorite author of mine, I knew she would not disappoint. This was a difficult book to read but at the same time was very well written. It definitely kept the tears falling down my face. I am still in awe of how horrible people were during the time of World War II. This is a must read for all historical fiction fans. I highly recommend it.

Auschwitz, 1942: The nurse’s entire body trembles as she watches the doctor guide the beautiful twins with chestnut curls into the infirmary. Everyone thinks he’s helping these innocent souls, but she knows the truth…
Betrayed by her own husband for being a German resistance fighter, Orli has no one left in the world as she stumbles from the cattle truck onto the frostbitten grounds of Auschwitz. She has arrived expecting to be sentenced to certain death. Instead, as a trained nurse, she is assigned to work in the infirmary to assist Dr Josef Mengele.
Soon, Orli learns Mengele is known as the Angel of Death, and is the most feared man in Auschwitz. At his hands, thousands of healthy inmates are cruelly killed and experimented on: and Orli is expected to assist him. She realises that her resistance work is not over. From inside the infirmary, she will secretly try to save as many souls as she can.
Orli starts to smuggle medicine to the most desperate of patients. But when Mengele instructs her to find children, she knows it isn’t enough… she has to keep him away. With the help of her fellow nurses, Orli plans to fake a typhus outbreak.
But can Orli really fool one of the most powerful men in Auschwitz? And if Mengele discovers her plan, will the cost of saving others be her own life?
