The Librarian of Auschwitz: The heart-breaking Sunday Times bestseller based on the incredible true story of Dita Kraus

Ich habe dieses Buch meiner Schwester zum Gerbutstag geschenkt da sie schon "The Tattooist of Auschwitz" gelesen hatte. Obwohl sie sich eigentlich nicht mit dem Krieg befasst und nicht darüber liest, mag sie diese Bücher sehr gerne un empfiehlt sie weiter. Was sie an diesen Büchern liebt ist dass es sich um eine echte Geschichte handelt. Toll und schön zum verschenken für Bücherwürmer !

He wanted this as we'd visited the 'real' place. Good book.

Amazing to read, god bless her ... She had seen a lot in her life

Where this book took a few chapters to really reel me in, I settled in and let the book get in my bones. The reason this book might feel a bit choppy or random at times, is because it's written as a firsthand account of a young teen. It's really a coming-of-age story of a girl figuring out the tough facts of life as she goes through the most senseless acts of violence and murder in history. This book not only follows her life, but the life of some of her family members, friends, and other children and Jewish leaders and Resistance members in the camp. It's written bluntly and to the point, just like a teen would react. I had never read a perspective like this and learned so much about the children, and family camp, which I hadn't known before. I appreciated how she delved into the character and bravery of so many different people. Some showed this bravery in incredibly daring ways, and others in quiet, peaceful ways. This book reads like a YA novel, but is compelling and heartbreaking throughout, yet it made my heart sore to celebrate this girl's undying spirit that brought hope to so many. Amazing book.

I liked this book. I just didn’t love it. I have read numerous WWII books and this one just seems a little slow for me. It got very interesting towards the end but I just felt like majority of the book was just okay.
