No esperaba que la historia de Dita, una de las supervivientes del Holocausto nazi, consiguiera despertarme tantas emociones. 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.They are just what some readers need instead of a large and for them, for whatever reasons, unwieldy novel. And so Dita becomes the secret librarian of Auschwitz, responsible for the safekeeping of the small collection of titles, as well as the ‘living books’ - prisoners of Auschwitz who know certain books so well, they too can be ‘borrowed’ to educate the children in the camp. Como estive em Auswichtz há 2 semanas, ainda o livro me tocou mais porque consegui visualizar tudo o que era descrito.

Dita is only fourteen and yet she strives to do her job as the books are a link to a world of sanity.
