This amazing tale of a child who risked her life to preserve the charm of books during the Holocaust is based on the experiences of real-life Auschwitz prisoner Dita Kraus.
Dita, a fourteen-year-old, is one of the many prisoners held in Auschwitz by the Nazis. Taken from the Terezín ghetto in Prague with her mother and father, Dita is getting used to the continuous fear that is camp life. Dita accepts when Jewish leader Freddy Hirsch begs her to oversee the eight priceless volumes the inmates have managed to smuggle past the guards. Thus, Dita ends up working as the Auschwitz library.
This incredible tale of bravery and hope emerges from one of the worst periods in human history.
