Book Review #3- House of Dolls
By Sonia G.

This novella is written by Ka-tzenik. Joy Divisions were special camps within bigger camps that Nazi officers would send young, Jewish women and live there solely to sexually pleasure Nazi soldiers. This book is no longer in print due to the unpopularity of the graphic content.It is unknown if the story is fiction that's based on a diary kept by a young Jewish girl who was captured in Poland when she was fourteen years old and forced into sexual slavery in a Nazi labor camp or if it's nonfiction about Ka-tznik's sister. The book is specifically about a brothel in Auschwitz. The post-punk band, Joy Division got their name from these brothels and this book.
