Amidst the Horrors of Auschwitz

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

With the support of her fellow prisoners, Dita embarked on a daring mission. She smuggled the books into the children's block, creating a secret library that became a lifeline for the young inmates.

In that tiny, hidden space, Dita and her companions found solace in stories of adventure, romance, and knowledge. They read together, whispering words of hope and laughter into the suffocating darkness. Each book became a precious treasure, a momentary escape from their harrowing reality.

Dita, the Librarian

Dita took on the role of the librarian, organizing the books and sharing them with eager young readers. She became a beacon of light, igniting imagination and fueling dreams in the hearts of the children.

Her secret library was more than just a collection of books; it was a haven, a sanctuary where the children could momentarily forget their torment and find a glimpse of beauty and humanity amidst the horrors of the camp.

Liberation and a Legacy

In 1945, Auschwitz was liberated, and Dita and her fellow prisoners were finally freed. She went on to live a long and fulfilling life, sharing her story and inspiring countless others.

Dita's library survived the Holocaust and now resides in the Yad Vashem Museum in Jerusalem. It stands as a testament to the indomitable spirit that prevailed even in the face of unimaginable darkness.
