Description

The Children's Block: A True Story of Survival and Teaching in Auschwitz-Birkenau. In the midst of unimaginable horror, a young man found solace in teaching. Alex Ehren, a prisoner in block 31 of Auschwitz-Birkenau, used his days to survive and secretly educate the children in his care. As he navigated the impossible challenges of the camp, Alex kept a diary, a testament to the human spirit's capacity for hope and resilience. This memoir tells the true story of 500 Jewish children who lived in the Czech Family Camp between September 1943 and June 1944. It is a powerful account of one man's efforts to shield his students from the atrocities they witnessed, and the ways in which he found strength in their presence.
