About this ebook
The real Librarian of Auschwitz tell her own story, from surviving the holocaust to life in Israel, in this "inspiring [and] unforgettable" memoir ( The Times , UK).
Dita Kraus grew up in Prague in an intellectual, middle-class Jewish family. She went to school, played with her friends, and never thought of herself as being different—until the advent of the Holocaust. Torn from her home, Dita was sent to Auschwitz with her family.
In bracingly candid prose, Dita recounts the conditions she endured and the dangers she faced in the camp. She also recounts how she maintained a small collection of books—strictly forbidden by Nazi guards—as part of a secret school for captive children.
From her time in the children's block of Auschwitz to her liberation from the camps and on into her adulthood, Dita's powerful memoir sheds light on an incredible life—one that is delayed no longer.
