Conference Room (30)

A book club for adults who love Children's and Teen books. The title for May discussion is--- The Librarian of Auschwitz: A Graphic Novel by Antonio Iturbe, 2023. Please call the branch to register.

Based on the experience of real-life Auschwitz prisoner 14-year-old Dita Kraus. Dita is one of the many imprisoned by the Nazis at Auschwitz. Taken, along with her mother and father, from the Terezín ghetto in Prague, Dita is adjusting to the constant terror that is life in the camp. When Jewish leader Freddy Hirsch asks Dita to take charge of the eight precious volumes the prisoners have managed to sneak past the guards, she agrees. And so Dita becomes the librarian of Auschwitz.
