The Story
This graphic novel transports readers to the infamous Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp during World War II, where the protagonist, Dita Kraus, serves as the camp's librarian. Amidst the horror and despair, Dita’s unwavering spirit shines as she undertakes the dangerous task of preserving the written word, curating a small collection of books for the children imprisoned within the camp. The narrative weaves together themes of hope, the power of literature, and the human capacity for kindness, even in the face of brutality.

The artwork captures both the stark realities of life in the camp and the vivid imagination of the young readers who find solace in the stories Dita provides. Readers are drawn to the resilience of the human spirit depicted in the story, making it a compelling read that resonates long after the last page is turned.
