Dita Kraus, born Dita Polachová, was a 14-year-old Jewish girl when she arrived at the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp in 1944. Amidst the unspeakable horrors and unimaginable suffering, she clung to a glimmer of hope.

One day, while working in the camp's children's block, Dita discovered a stash of discarded books hidden under a floorboard. In that moment, a flame was ignited within her—a flame that would illuminate the darkest corners of the camp.

A Secret Library, a Sanctuary of Hope
