The Librarian of Auschwitz

The Librarian of Auschwitz by Antonio Iturbe is a deeply emotional and poignant novel. Based on the true story of an Auschwitz prisoner, it tells of a girl who, during the Holocaust, tried to preserve the magic of books for children in the camp. In "The Librarian of Auschwitz," Spanish journalist and writer Antonio Iturbe explores the systematic murder and persecution of people, and the strength of those who fight for their lives and freedom. During World War II, thirteen-year-old Dita and her parents were deported from the Terezín ghetto to the "Family Camp." Despite the oppressive living conditions, Dita is entrusted with an important mission: to protect a hidden collection of books and share them with the children. A seemingly simple task. But it becomes a profound symbol of resistance and hope, a ray of normalcy for those suffering immeasurable torment.
