Book
The Librarian of Auschwitz / based on the novel by Antonio Iturbe ; adapted by Salva Rubio ; translated by Lilit Žekulin Thwaites ; illustrated by Loreto Aroca.
Based on the experience of real-life Auschwitz prisoner Dita Kraus, this graphic novel tells the incredible story of a girl who risked her life to keep the magic of books alive during the Holocaust. Fourteen-year-old Dita is one of the many imprisoned by the Nazis at Auschwitz. Taken from the Terezin ghetto in Prague along with her mother and father, Dita is adjusting to the constant terror that is life in the camp. When Jewish leader Fredy Hirsch asks Dita to take charge of the eight precious volumes the prisoners have managed to sneak past the guards, she agrees. And so Dita becomes the librarian of Auschwitz. Out of one of the darkest chapters of human history comes this extraordinary story of courage and hope. -- Provided by book's back.
