The Librarian of Auschwitz: The heart-breaking Sunday Times bestseller based on the incredible true story of Dita Kraus

Words cannot begin to describe how I felt while reading this book. Over the winter break and holiday season something sparked in me, and I became very interested in learning about the Holocaust. The first book I read was "Number the Stars" which my sister uses in her 4th grade classroom, it gave a great perspective of life outside the concentration and extermination camps. However, I wanted to go deeper into the events. I wanted to be placed in the camps. I came across the book online while searching for new reads about the Holocaust, and I knew I had to read it.

To think about the events that took place during this time, and being placed there in my mind while reading, it is just so astonishing to think that human kind is capable of such atrocity. This book was really enlightening and it brought me to a place where I learned so much.
