Indi entre libros ，

Dita， un bibliotecaria de 15 años， que mantuvo intacta su fe y su esperanza， gracias a los libros y su amor por ellos。 Un historia real， con partes de ficción。 Muy dura por momentos y tierna por otros。 Sigo sorprendiéndome con que todo eso pasó， y no me entra en la cabeza tanta pero tanta maldad。

It took me a long time to read this book， like a year。。。the beginning was so slow。 However， once FH dies it begins to pick up and I found myself unable to put it down。 The last couple of chapters I did want to shed some tears due to the subject matter， it’s still unbelievable to me that the Holocaust even happened， it’s truly awful。

Amazing book。

Heartbreaking to read， but also a bit long winded at times。 I liked at the end the author had a write up in the dates of various people mentioned through out the book。

L’epilogo e Le ultime cose importanti mi fanno dare tre stelle a questo romanzo。 Purtroppo le “prime” 438 pagine， nonostante il tema trattato， non sono riuscite a creare empatia con Dita。

This book tore my heart out and made me cry quiet a bit， which by my standards makes a wonderful book- it is a truly great read that makes you want to sit down and digest the whole thing at once。 It also inspired me to look into the real woman behind the book ♡ overall， an amazing book with a powerful story。

Dita spends her days working as the school librarian， she assigns books to the teachers， makes reading suggestions and lovingly attends to any repairs。 During this time she also tries with all her might to forget what’s happening outside the makeshift school， the pain， starvation and death all around them。 Instead she looks into herself at her imaginary photo album and remembers a different time but sadly these moments never last。 What follows is an account based on a true story of a young girls Dita spends her days working as the school librarian， she assigns books to the teachers， makes reading suggestions and lovingly attends to any repairs。 During this time she also tries with all her might to forget what’s happening outside the makeshift school， the pain， starvation and death all around them。 Instead she looks into herself at her imaginary photo album and remembers a different time but sadly these moments never last。 What follows is an account based on a true story of a young girls fight for survival and the connections that she makes with those around her。 She will learn that you have to have fear in order to be brave and that her life was meant for something so much more than what others have decided for her。 The story itself was compelling， real and heartbreaking but the narrative I found somewhat challenging。 I understand that this is YA but some of the conversations between characters just felt unauthentic。 Looking past that， I did enjoy the book， especially loved the author’s note and feel that this book should be read， regardless of my personal/minimal qualms。 Dita Kraus is an amazing person， her interviews online are truly moving and I am so thankful that she shared and continues to share her story！ 。。。more

Very rarely will a book shake you into living， show you how your choices - no matter how miniscule - do affect life in the long run。 Antonio Iturbe， with the flawless translation from Spanish done by Lilit Thwaite， has managed to interweave numerous real people into his book and create a masterpiece in storytelling。The Librarian of Auschwitz is a book about suffering， cruelty， foul human nature， and no doubt death， yes， but it is also one of everlasting hope， sticking together， and conjuring up Very rarely will a book shake you into living， show you how your choices - no matter how miniscule - do affect life in the long run。 Antonio Iturbe， with the flawless translation from Spanish done by Lilit Thwaite， has managed to interweave numerous real people into his book and create a masterpiece in storytelling。The Librarian of Auschwitz is a book about suffering， cruelty， foul human nature， and no doubt death， yes， but it is also one of everlasting hope， sticking together， and conjuring up happy memories to ease the pain of the present。 This alone encapsulates the emotional aspect a story based off of this historical era should already have。 Because war is never fun or to be dealt with lightly。 The insane amount of research that clearly went into the writing of this book is evident， and I applaud Iturbe for showing us - not merely telling us - another perspective into this era。The story follows fourteen year old Dita Adlerova as she recounts being stripped from her peaceful home and forced to leave her childhood far behind as merely memories。 Life in Auschwitz-Birkenau is made bearable thanks to the trust shown by the lively youth leader in the family camp， Fredy Hirsch， and the eight dusty books smuggled into their hands and kept in his office。 Dita shows so much commitment to the bundles of paper that Hirsch decides to ask her to become librarian of their family camp and thus begins her daily evasions from becoming the next experiment of the dangerous Dr。 Mengel and the connections she is trying to solve after the Auschwitz Resistance causes a tragedy。Dita's curiosity and shy bravery is a peculiar one amongst the dejected ones of her fellow prisoners。 The way she turns to books is extremely dangerous but helps her cope so well with what is going on around her that she even risks her life to read。 Iturbe alternates between points of view （a little confusing at first） all from very different backgrounds， and makes them all connect somehow。 I found myself laughing alongside Dita and her best friend Margit， boiling in anger at the injustices committed every single day at camp， and crying at friendly lives lost。Some things I couldn't quite get around were the numerous rhetoricals thrown throughout the book。 I was left with unanswered questions in the end。 Why did this person really die？ Where did she end up？ How did Dita cope so well， so quickly， all on her own？ All in all， this is the only constructive criticism I have to give。Light is being shed on one of the ugliest aspects of the war。 It is both informative and mind-boggling with writing to match。 I would recommend this book to children and adults alike。 Although at times too harsh， it shows the reality of millions of people。 Not too graphic and not too depressing。 This is a must-read for young history enthusiasts and one I thoroughly enjoyed myself。 。。。more

This story based on true events is so powerful。 Even when things cannot get worse they do， but somehow， especially with a loved one hanging on， one can survive。 The Nazis allowed the Jews to have a school for the children in the concentration camp and the residents find out that this was part of the propaganda machine 。 This did not devalue the hope that it was able to put into the participants of the school， even if they perished。

I didn’t actually finish the book。 I just could not get into the storyline。 I have read countless books about the atrocities of the Holocaust and most of them are much more interesting stories。 This one I found boring。 I usually will never stop reading a book I’ve started but my reading time is limited and I need to fully enjoy the read。

„Taka była matka。 Nie lubiła się z niczego zwierzać， jakby opowiadanie o własnych niepokojach było zachowaniem niestosownym。 Dita myśli teraz， że chętnie powiedziałaby wtedy do niej „mamo， odpręż się， opowiedz mi wszystko。。。”。 Ale matka należała do innej epoki， była z innego tworzywa， jak owe naczynia ceramiczne， które nie przepuszczają ciepła， tak， że całe pozostaje w środku”。

Sean ，

This was amazing story based on the real life of an Auschwitz survivor。 This is not your typical WWII story about this complete atrocity。 While it is important to remember that it happened， we also need to remember that we should never place ourselves above anyone else ever。 We have life in order to serve one another and that is what this story helps illustrate to me。

Jenny ，

This book was interesting， I have long been intrigued by stories from WWII and this was no different in my interest。 The people who lived to tell us their stories are nothing short of amazing and learning from them and all they survived is incredibly important。
