There is a sense that Magda felt guilt at not having been in the camp for as long as her sisters. Is this justified?
How do you think being in the camps shaped the people these three sisters became?
How did Three Sisters change your perceptions about the Holocaust in particular, and war in general? What implications does this book hold for our own time?
