The Sisters of Auschwitz

In the The Sisters of Auschwitz section of this wikiarticle, the book is referred to as both a novel and as a work of non-fiction. It cannot be both. So, which is it? Thanks! — Spike Toronto 15:52, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
P.S. I’m not trying to be a smart alec about this: I really am confused. Thanks! — Spike Toronto 15:52, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

UPDATE: The way the following two reviews read suggests that the work is non-fiction:

"The Sisters of Auschwitz". Kirkus Reviews. Vol. LXXXIX, no. 14. Kirkus Media LLC. 15 July 2021. p. 76. Retrieved 5 December 2021.

From Van Iperen's website: "Dit non-fictie verhaal dat leest als een meeslepende roman", meaning: "This non-fiction story reads like a captivating novel". Vysotsky (talk) 22:52, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that, @Vysotsky!
