An exciting novel based on true events that rescues from oblivion one of the most moving stories of cultural heroism. On Auschwitz's all-consuming black mud, Fredy Hirsch has secretly built a school. In a place where books are forbidden, young Dita hides under her dress the fragile volumes of the smallest, most secluded, and most clandestine public library that has ever existed. Amidst the horror, Dita gives us a wonderful lesson in courage: she doesn't give up and never loses her desire to live or to read because, even in that terrible extermination camp, "opening a book is like getting on a train that takes you on vacation." -- An exciting novel based on true events that rescues from oblivion one of the most moving stories of cultural heroism.
