Description

The Librarian of Auschwitz by Antonio Iturbe is a powerful and moving story about a young girl's courage in the face of unimaginable terror. In 1942, Dita is taken from her home in Prague to Auschwitz, where she becomes one of the many prisoners subjected to the brutal regime of the Nazis. Among the horrors of life in the camp, Dita finds solace in a small collection of precious books smuggled past the guards. As the secret librarian of Auschwitz, she must protect these 'living books' and use them to educate the children in the camp, who have been deprived of their own education by the war. But the power of books is a double-edged sword - they can inspire hope, but also spark rebellion. In Block 31, the children's block, where the slightest transgression can result in execution, Dita must use her wits and resourcefulness to keep the prisoners safe, while navigating the treacherous world of Auschwitz.
