Librarian of Auschwitz, The

Product Information

The characters felt so real (well of course, seeing how they are based on real people) and there were plenty of emotional moments as much as tense ones. For readers of The Tattooist of Auschwitz and The Choice: this is the story of the smallest library in the world - and the most dangerous. While there could be more 'meat' to some things, it was overall a quick and engaging read that covered its bases.

It is thick with characters, with confusing and often similar names, so it is easy to get some of the characters mixed up, but overall the novel was entertaining, powerful and heart-warming. Reading the notes at the end, and realizing that they had condensed a four hundred page novel into a graphic novel a third of the length, I feel like they did a good job of getting the meat of the story onto the page. Reading the graphic, I found myself confused about a few of the things that went on in Auschwitz and that impacted the main character, Dita, personally. I’m normally a pretty unflappable reader, well out of my YA years, and these descriptions came across as merely gratuitous, rather than serving an actual purpose. While the novel does not downplay the violence and horror, it is presented in a way that is acceptable for children.verdade que com pão para comer e água para beber o homem sobrevive, mas só com isso morre a humanidade inteira. Sie hütet acht alte Bücher, die ins KZ geschmuggelt werden konnten und auf keinen Fall entdeckt werden dürfen. The librarian of Auschwitz is based on the experience of real-life Auschwitz prisoner 14 year old Dita Kraus, who risked her life to keep the magic of books alive during the holocaust. But I think there's some part of this graphic novel where the scenes weren't directly connected so as a person who haven't read the novel, it confused me. There is in the camp a resistance movement led by one David Schmulewski, assisted by Rudi Rosenberg, whom the Nazis had made registrar to keep an ever fluctuating list of prisoners.

as a fellow bookworm, its quite heartening to read about how books were the source of her courage, inspiration, and escape. 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. What’s more, the camp section of the story – the largest section of the story – details more than just Dita’s experiences. But it isn’t written in a way of ‘you have no idea how lucky you are now’, it’s subtle and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since I (sadly) finished it. Es verdad que con el pan de comer y el agua de beber sobrevive el hombre, pero que solo con eso muere la humanidad entera.les textes complémentaires à la fin permettent d'avoir + d'infos sur l'adaptation à l'ouvrage (qui n'est pas très très réaliste mais très intéressante à lire), sur le contexte et le passé. Placed in the uniquely special Block 31, where families are allowed to remain together, Dita acquires a unique title: Librarian of the clandestine school. Against all odds, she and her fellow teachers and assistants manage to give the children an education with the limited resources and library they have. It is always a revelation when you read a book about someone who at such a young age took on a role that was not only dangerous but also one in which death awaited her if she was caught. As I read in the epilogue this graphic novel which is based off the novel is to get you to read the novel.
