I received this book for free on Netgalley last year. These types of books really interest me, and I found this to be so beautifully written and emotional. The book is basically an account of a real man and him meeting his wife in such an awful place but finding love while trying to survive. I loved this book, and I felt as if it really taught me more about auschwitz.

I really enjoyed reading this book. A brave young girl caught up in the horror of her surroundings and seeking refuge in the pages of 8 books, which she carries around in a secret pocket under her dress when dispatching them to teachers. I felt my younger self could relate to Dita in the way she thinks and her love of those 8 books. A very heart warming book amidst the hell of Auschwitz.

People would say there are enough movies about the Holocaust, but this film is different. In 1944, two Slovak Jewish scribes escaped from Auschwitz to safety. They "worked" for the Nazis keeping careful records for the camp. When they met with the Resistance and with the Red Cross, neither organization could believe that the stories they told were true. Meanwhile, back in Auschwitz, the inmates at Barrack 9 withstood months of torture protecting the escapees.
A great movie overall. Two things stood out. One scene at the camp: After spending the night standing outside in the cold, Nazis force the captures to perform their daily work. As the captures walk off, three bodies are seen: one leaning against the wall of the barrack, one in a fetal position on the ground, and the last knelt over, a powerful image of torture. The second happens during the credits when voices from the modern day propagate hate against "the others" showing how the Holocaust continues even as some deny it.

Many of us will have seen the photographs and moving images of those 2 little girls at the head of a line of survivors walking out of Auschwitz and many of us, me included, would have asked ourselves "I wonder who they are, where they came from, how they survived that nightmare and where are they now?"; this book sheds light on all those questions and introduces you to a very brave little girl.
