The strongest athlete isn’t the one who finishes first. That athlete is the fastest. The strongest athlete is the one who gets up again every time he falls, the one who doesn’t stop when he feels a pain in his side, the one who doesn’t abandon the race, no matter how far away the finish line is. That runner is a winner whenever he reaches the finish line, even if he comes in last.” Ao meu ver, este livro divide-se am duas partes: a primeira (pensamos nós) que é mais uma "fantasia" nos campos de Auswichtz/Birkenau e a parte mais final do livro retrata uma realidade mais crua do que foram os fins e o degredo dos campos. It doesn’t matter how many schools the Nazis close, he would say to them. Each time someone stops to tell a story and children listen, a school has been established.”
A truly wonderful book! The authors’ weave a lovely tale about the importance of books in the brutal environment of the Nazi concentration camps. Families can talk about how The Librarian of Auschwitz uses the comics medium to tell its story. How might the storytelling change in another medium? Iturbe includes a moving postscript which explains his reason for writing the book and his meeting with the woman that inspired this story, Dita herself, who is still as strong, outspoken and passionate in her eighties as she was as a young girl. What other books or movies about the Holocaust have you read or watched? Why is it important to remember and learn about this period in history?I loved the entire graphic novel. This is a true story, and it isn’t pretty. Teen readers need to know about the Holocaust, and the graphic novel format of this book will help bring the Holocaust to a larger audience.

The ‘children’s school’ was established to create a sense of normalcy. Some families didn’t think it mattered if the kids kept learning and reading given their nightmare conditions —but we soon see how much it did matter.Es difícil entender arriesgar la vida por unos cuantos libros, pero me quedo con la conclusión del escritor al final que dice así: The sudden death of her mentor Fredy in March 1944 was traumatic for the children. Informed of the impending mass murder on March 8 1944, Fredy was asked to lead an uprising. Shortly after, he was found in a coma from an overdose of sleeping pills. Dita learned much later that Jewish doctors, worried about his safety, had drugged him to avoid conflict, but misjudged the dose. Did you know you can flag iffy content?

This graphic novel is based on an adult novel, which I already put on-hold in OverDrive. I’m excited to read the full novel version of Dita’s story.
The Librarian of Auschwitz” by Antonio Iturbe is classified as young adult, historical fiction (based in reality, obviously). However, this novel is so much more than that. The Librarian of Auschwitz is based on a true story. I had not heard of Dita Kraus prior to reading this graphic novel. I love that this was based on a true story of an unsung teen hero. Dita was courageous in the face of real danger and threat to her life. She was afraid, but she didn’t let her fear control her actions.Not only is the novel as powerful as any novel from this era is, it also holds a special power. It spreads the love and passion of books that only those with a true adoration can admire. Dita is a spectacular character, brave and compassionate, but also stubborn and caring. Based on a real person, Dita is someone a reader can easily root for. Dita Polachova was raised in a loving home in Prague, the only child of book-loving parents, who filled their shelves with German, Czech and French books. Little did she know that by the age of 14 her life would be saved by a dozen tattered books which comprised possibly the smallest library in the world, in Auschwitz-Birkenau. I enjoyed this book quite a bit, but I must admit that I was hoping for more. The story itself is fascinating and that’s what kept me reading. The writing was pedestrian, which was a disappointment. Still, I would recommend the book to those looking for an inspirational story concerning Auschwitz. Based on the experience of real-life Auschwitz prisoner Dita Kraus, journalist Antonio Iturbe tells the incredible story of a girl who risked her life to keep the magic of books alive during the Holocaust. Literature has the same impact as a match lit in the middle of a field in the middle of the night. The match illuminates relatively little, but it enables us to see how much darkness surrounds it.”
In a place like Auschwitz, where everything is designed to make you cry, a smile is an act of defiance.” Totalmente recomendable, una novela gráfica que emana sentimiento y que te hace desear darle una oportunidad al libro en el que se basa. No esperaba que la historia de Dita, una de las supervivientes del Holocausto nazi, consiguiera despertarme tantas emociones. Sin duda, es una de esas obras que todavía hoy en día te hacen pensar en la crueldad que puede imperar en una sociedad cuando se emprenden acciones deleznables. As a summarized version of the novel, it did incredibly well at introducing some really complex characters and stories that have me immediately adding the full length to my TBR. overall, not quite the execution i would have like from this, but still a really important story that i am grateful was told.After reading some classic Holocaust novels such as Night| by Elie Wiesel and the classic The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank or even great young adults novels such as The Edelweiss Express, or the amazing The Book Thief. Es ist schön, wie der Autor es geschafft hat, die Magie, die Bücher ausüben können, in die Geschichte einzubauen (die im Übrigen auf wahren Begebenheiten beruht).
