About this ebook

Based on the experience of real-life Auschwitz prisoner Dita Kraus, this is the incredible story of a girl who risked her life to keep the magic of books alive during the Holocaust.

Fourteen-year-old Dita is one of the many imprisoned by the Nazis at Auschwitz. Taken, along with her mother and father, from the Terezín ghetto in Prague, Dita is adjusting to the constant terror that is life in the camp. When Jewish leader Freddy Hirsch asks Dita to take charge of the eight precious volumes the prisoners have managed to sneak past the guards, she agrees. And so Dita becomes the librarian of Auschwitz.

Out of one of the darkest chapters of human history comes this extraordinary story of courage and hope.

This title has Common Core connections.

    After Dita's family is transferred from the Terezin ghetto to Auschwitz, Dita takes charge of the library for the family bloc. Composed of eight varying books, the library is a symbol of better times, hope, and life itself.Although Dita's story was fascinating, there was something a bit off about the writing style. The book didn't have the realism that most holocaust stories have. This may be because it is a translation. I think the book is a bit slow moving to capture the attention of most teenagers, but I enjoyed it.

    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.

    Inspired by the true story of Dita Kraus, a prisoner of Auschwitz. Dita was a librarian of sorts, keeping safe a small collection of eight books in the school. Books were forbidden by the Nazis and so Dita took her role seriously, keeping them carefully hidden and making repairs as needed. Beyond that, the book is searing in its depiction of life in the concentration camps: the rampant disease, the Nazis' savage treatment of the Jews, starvation, abuse, loss of hope, the ovens.. Through it all, Dita perseveres the best she can, despite personal losses and constant fear and stress. There are parallel storylines, of guards falling for prisoners, the respected leadership of Fredy Hirsch, flashbacks to the ghetto and before. Appropriate for older teens.

    I really wanted to like this book, but it just wasn't for me.First off, it's a fictionalized memoir. I didn't realize that until after I started reading it (it does say it on the first page, with a letter from the "real" Dita); I probably wouldn't have picked it up if I had known that from the beginning. I really hate fiction-memoir hybrids, because I spend most of the book wondering if the part I'm currently reading is real or not real (I guess I feel like Peeta a bit, LOL). The book also sounded very young, like it was written for a much younger audience (I'm thinking twelve year olds). Maybe part of it had to do with the fact that it was a translation; I don't know. Even though I found the subject matter fascinating, the execution left a lot to be desired. I'd probably recommend it to a tween, but no one older than that. I'd have much rather read a proper memoir from the real Dita instead.

    I really wanted to like this book more as this is my favorite historical fiction genre. I was very generous with three stars. There are some inspiring quotes, but the story was very slow. I could recommend many other similar books that are much better such as Night, The Devil's Arithmetic, or The Book Thief.

    THE LIBRARIAN OF AUSCHWITZ by Antonio Iturbe, translation by Lilit ThwaitesI wanted to love this book. It is the true story of a 13 year old girl, imprisoned at Auschwitz Concentration Camp, who protects the few books that have been smuggled into the camp. The infamous Doctor Mengle and other well-known Nazis and Resistance workers play supporting roles in what should have been a fascinating and terrifying look at man’s inhumanity to man. Instead it is almost boring.The writing is flat, perhaps a problem with the translation. The characters have no life to them and so the reader is not engaged. Well researched, with a postscript and “what happened to them” appendix that gives the reader the results of the bravery of the resistance workers and prisoners and the cruelty of the Nazis, the book could be a source for history buffs and casual readers. However, as it intended for young adults, the book simply cannot be recommended because of the uninteresting writing.2 of 5 stars

    What an incredible story! I am entranced by personal stories of survivors of the Holocaust, and this book did not disappoint. The strength these people maintained throughout the most atrocious time in history is astounding...awe inspiring. Definitely recommended!#punkrocklibrarian #overdrive #audiobook

    This novel is historical fiction and will appeal to students curious about life in a concentration camp. There are people who still don’t believe what happened in the camps, even Jews who believe life couldn’t have been so difficult. This author interviewed the real person who was the librarian at Auschwitz. Although listed as fiction, all is based on facts and interviews.Dita grew up in Prague and spent her tweens and teens living under the Nazis and trying to survive. They are first moved to the ghetto, then to Terezin, Auschwitz, and finally Bergen-Belsen, where Anne Frank died. Dita always enjoyed reading and helped distribute books in Terezin. In Auschwitz, the commander of the camp had a section set aside for families. They secretly held school all day with Nazis believing they were merely playing games and doing German activities. Some sneakier people had brought books in and the leader of the school, Freddy, kept them hidden, never discovered by the Nazis. Dita’s job was to make sure the books circulated amongst the teachers.Dita’s job as librarian is truly a minor part of the book. The book is about some of the more notable prisoners who made a difference. There is a section at the end of the novel talking about these people and what happened in real life. The book isn’t an adventure story; it’s day-to-day life in a concentration camp, which is gritty, boring, hungry, and full of fear and survival as well as hope. One character states, “We look at the Nazis...and we think they are powerful, invincible even…. There is nothing inside those shiny uniforms…. We want to shine on the inside. That’s what will give us victory in the end. Our strength isn’t in uniforms--it’s in faith, pride, and determination.”

    A fascinating story interweaving fact with fiction. The story was overwhelming and will have you cheering for Dita as the days grow longer and more devastating in Auschwitz. Points did seem scattered or jumbled which I cannot determine if it was the author's writing or from the translation. Regardless the book was thought provoking and showed how there is hope and life through libraries.

    I am interested in the Holocaust and how the Nazis used intellectual starvation to oppress people by killing their culture and restricting their education. This book covers that topic as it is an account of a young woman in concentration camps who was responsible for hiding the only books in the camp. Based on a true story, the account bogs down in daily grinds of hunger, cold and misery. Many of the characters are based on people who lived through this horror, and a nice addition to the end of the book tells what happened to most of them. Some of the characters, like the Nazi scientist, Dr. Josef Mengele, are truly frightening. A good story, and the characters will remain with me, but the storytelling craft leaves much to be desired. Perhaps this is because the book is in translation, but the book plods along in many places where it should tear along with character development, action and suspense. Good for high school students and libraries, Holocaust collections, and most libraries, since it makes a girl librarian the central character.

    It's too devastating to write about. But there's one thing I can say for certain, and that this book should be required reading on the history syllabus. Also, it is strange that a book that describes one of the most disgusting things ever to happen in the history of the human race could also be beautiful. To say I loved it would be slightly odd, but I found it very educational and enlightening.

    YA Historical Fiction based very closely on real-life events in the Theresienstadt "family camp" in Auschwitz in late 1943-March 1944, focusing on Dita, a 14 Czech Jewish girl who cares for 8 precious books smuggled past the guards. Dita becomes known as The Librarian, as she controls the lending of the books out to teachers in the family camp as they try to maintain a routine of secret schooling the children. Life in Auschwitz during this time period, surrounded by the constant threats of illness, murder and persecution by the Nazis, is told through several threads of survival, friendship, love and heroism.

    This isn't one of those titles that when someone asks "how is it" you want to answer "great" because it has roots in reality, and the topics/history covered is many shades less than something that should rank as incredible, or amazing, or anything with a positive connotation, and yet...I couldn't completely shy away from the use of that particular word "great" when conveying my thoughts in brief.

    Once upon a time, the word wasn't as accepting, understanding, or inclusive as it should be...wait, okay so that's pretty much ANY time, but for the sake of this review, let's go with it, shall we? Once upon that time, people were persecuted for their heritage, for their beliefs, for their features, for the blood that ran through their veins...pretty much for everything that made them THEM and not "them". That time we're once upon-ing was filled with brutality you can't imagine, bloodshed like you'd never want to see, and lies held up as truths until the hidden cracks in their veneer finally wore through and the world could see them as they were. The thing is...this isn't a story so much about ALL THAT though it most definitely is there, but about all the things that went into making daily life livable to some degree.

    It's a story about the hardships and terrors, but also about the friendships however tenuous, the relationships however distant, the hopes and dreams for the future....whether they would be there themselves to actually see it come to pass. It's about how one can survive something so atrocious, and still come out on the other side a different version of ones self, but still ones self. It's about the power of the written word to transport us from the most dire of straights to something more beautiful beyond. I admit, I was captivated by the work, and while yes, there is fiction with the facts, it was instilled just so, that it allows readers to fully immerse themselves in the time. This was not a title received for review, but a book I purchased for my personal library that I am slowly rebuilding after Hurricane Michael's destruction...and I doubt I could have chosen a better title to dive into at the time.

    There appears to be a plethora of books recently dealing with atrocities committed during the 2ndww. The Librarian of Auschwitz is a fine example and shows how in the midst of living amongst the wretchedness and unbelievable cruelty of Auschwitz ordinary everyday life can just continue. It says something for the human spirit that when all around you are dying the simple pleasure of reading a banned book or discussing them can somehow bind people together and make day to day living in such squalor seem bearable. The story of Dita Kraus is a blend of mixing the facts around a well presented novel and makes for inspirational reading. Bringing order and resilience is really the only way to survive and the simple task of lending and discussing creates a kind of normality when faced with evil from such monstrous individuals as Joseph Mengele and Rudolf Hoess commandant of Auschwitz. A difficult book to read but essential if we are ever to understand how the evil intent of men must not be allowed to prevail.

    A totally engaging fictionalized account of a true story. Worthwhile in its own right, it gets the full five-star treatment because the author relates the story to the real-life people involved in the narrative. I always like to know, when reading or viewing something based on history, how much is true, and now much imagined. Iturbe is a rare author who answers that question. I've randomly checked the Internet for the nonfiction account of the persons involved, and the author conveys with good accuracy what really happened. That it begins with an endorsement from the primary actor in the events makes it all the more impressive.If you liked The Book Thief, you'll almost certainly like this one as well. They both draw on the same themes of the power of books in the most oppressive and dehumanizing of environments.

    This book is quite the story. It fills you with sadness and despair for all these people. The horrors that they experienced at the hands of ruthless Nazis is more treacherous than I can ever describe. I honestly don't know how anyone can be heartless enough or evil enough to willingly participate in such a massive operation knowing that this was wrong. It's madness. How would you look at the eyes of a child again after such a horror? Or a parent who lost their child(ren) to this?

    From a historical viewpoint, this book touches you on such a deep level. I never want this kind of human suffering to happen again. No one deserves this.

    This book would be a great book club book because of all the characters and their fates. But I honestly would not want to re-read this. It's not a slam to the author because the work is excellent. I just don't have the heart to stomach all this again.

    My favorite quote from the book is: "Within their pages, books contain the wisdom of the people who wrote them. Books never lose their memory."

    This book is full of the memories of the survivors and history will always keep them to remind us that we must never repeat this.

    Such a heartbreaking read.... I’m not going to lie, it took me about two months to get through it. Not because it was a bore, but because it was so rich in history, I wanted to take my time analyzing each part. My heart broke for the characters and my gut turned at the rawness that was Auschwitz.

    Dita was/is a hero that all should read about. She braved some of the darkest days and did so with a fierceness only few had. I loved her and I loved the role that books played. For her, it was simple words on paper and inspiration that helped move her feet in the direction of survival. She faced fear, hunger, disparity, and death with courage. She was strong when people constantly tried to wear her weak.

    It’s a hard pill to chew, but way worth the read.

    If a story set in the hell of Auschwitz can be triumphant, it is [The Librarian of Auschwitz]. In the midst of the unimaginable, the inmates set up a school, providing some semblance of safety to the children. The librarian--14-year-old Dita--manages the few precious books, those made of paper and flesh, and risks her life in doing so. We see Auschwitz through her eyes, her fear of Mengele, her worry for her family and friends, her need to understand her mentor's motive in a moment of crisis.

    A story from someone who lived through Auschwitz as a teenage librarian, now illustrated and adapted for teen audiences. A rare find in today's pantheon of series and mass-produced graphic novels. A Jewish teen girl goes through awful conditions knowing the power of books and their ability to remove the mind from harsh realities of concentration camps. Some mature content points this to be older teen-oriented [a minor character is gay, some nudity depicted - not that detailed].

    This is a book that will stay me with for awhile! The Librarian of Auschwitz by Antonio Iturbe and translated by LIlit Thwaites is based on the true story of Dita Adler during 7 years of incarceration in various concentration camps during WW2. While at Auschwitz, young Dita is placed in charge of the camp's only books - 8 of them - to be used by the children and teachers in Block 31 for school. She is later sent to Bergen-Belsen. Finally liberation!While the story revolves around Dita, her family and friends, we also meet some famous Nazis and Resistance fighters. I especially like the final epilogue, postscript, and what happened to.... at the end of the book. Well researched.A very realistic story that leaves you wondering how anyone could have survived such cruel treatment and what kind of person(s) could perform such heartless acts. I stand in amazement at the power of hope exemplified by the prisoners!While this book is a high school level read, I would steer it toward mature young adults. There were sections that shook me as I read them. What horrors! What courage!

Dita Kraus acts as the school librarian, hiding and maintaining the few books that have made it into the concentration camp.

    Dita was 9-years old when the war started, and 14-years old when she and her parents were brought to Auschwitz. At Auschwitz, for a while, there was a children’s school in Block 31. Dita was soon asked to be the school’s “librarian”. Books were prohibited, but somehow there were 8 books that had been smuggled in. It was a dangerous job, as Dita would have to make sure the books were never discovered by the guards.Dita was a real person, and the author interviewed her. Many of the additional people were also real – a couple of additional people/situations the author included were people who escaped (one SS guard, and one Jewish boy who was was helping in the camp, so actually was in a “good” position, as compared to some of the others) to try to get help (the SS guard wanted to help one of the prisoners escape, along with her mother, and the Jewish boy wanted to get word out to the international community as to what was really happening in the concentration camps). I quite enjoyed this one, and it was interesting to read about the Block 31 school, the “library”, and the escapees, none of which I’d heard about before (that I recall).
