«The memoirs of a witness to the horrors of the Holocaust.»

At just thirteen years old, Dita was deported to Auschwitz together with her mother and locked up in the sector called Family Camp (kept up by the SS to demonstrate to the rest of the world that it was not an extermination camp): the one that contained Block 31, supervised by the infamous "Angel of Death", Dr. Mengele. Here Dita agrees to take care of some books smuggled by the prisoners. This is a dangerous assignment, because the SS torturers would not hesitate to punish her harshly once discovered. Dita describes with words of extraordinary strength and in no uncertain terms the conditions of the concentration camps, the abuses, the fear and the abuses to which the internees were subjected every day. She tells how she decided to become the guardian of a few precious books: an extraordinary symbol of hope, in humanity's darkest moment. Finally, the pages are beautiful and moving
