This book was my bookclub's pick a few months ago. Not gonna lie, I started it & it was way too dark for me to mentally get through. So I found this graphic novel adaptation that felt much more palatable. It's such an important story that I'm glad I know now. The horrors of Auschwitz were unimaginable but the people who survived are heroes. This adaptation did a great job with the story and the art was beautiful, even while showing terrible things

A good book that at time is very hard to read. It was Antonio Itrube's debut novel. I know I'm a little late reading it. He writes a historical fiction book based on the true life of Dita, a 15 year old, at Auschwitz that becomes a librarian. She is in charge of keeping the hidden books in Block 31. The Germans don't like books because they make people think. Her story is sad yet inspirational.

4.75⭐
𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐒⇩
-This was very hard-hitting, yet it managed to stay YA without compromising its truth.
-This is, quite possibly, the perfect non-fiction story for people who don‘t usually like non-fiction.
𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐒⇩
-Not necessarily a con but the cover suggests that this has romance but it really doesn‘t.
-Gerta‘s story didn‘t have the gravitation that Rudy‘s did and she often felt like an afterthought.
