ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"The Librarian of Auschwitz" by Antonio Iturbe tells the story of Dita, a young girl who becomes the librarian of a secret collection of books in the Auschwitz concentration camp. Despite the constant threat of discovery by the Nazi guards, Dita is determined to protect the books. The narrative explores the power of literature as a form of resistance and escape in the face of extreme oppression. It highlights how books allow the children to connect with their past and use their imaginations in the face of the brutality that surrounds them. The story shows the importance of courage, hope, and the human spirit in the darkest of times. The book also touches on themes of memory, legacy, and the importance of bearing witness.
