"Auschwitz's librarian"

This book is about a Jewish family during the second world war. It's non-fiction, this story is real. It's similar to a biography but it's narrated like a story. I chose this book because I'm interested in world wars; how the people lived in it and the consequences.

The protagonist is Edita, a 14-year-old girl. She's considered the Auschwitz's librarian because she looked after books, the books are forbidden.

Edita's father dies because of poor hygiene. Edita and her mother survive, but they are transported to another concentration camp. There, they aren't treated well. But fortunately, Americans soldiers arrive, but Edita's mother is about to die. When her mother dies, Edita leave the camp and she goes to her friends house. There, Edita meet a boy, this boy was in Auschwitz, too. Edita and he get married some years later.

This story is real. Now Edita and her family, live in Australia. She's never returned in Germany.  

I have to tell you, it's the first time I cried reading a book. This story is so sad and extraordinary in the same time. We can read about the second world war but we can't imagine the horrible things people lived through. Also to know that some people survived it's extraordinary. The writer, Antonio G. Iturbe, can transport you in this horrible life. You can feel the feelings of the people involved.

This book, it's one of my favourite books. The story it's just wonderful. I have learned one thing with this book, if some people have survived this situation it's because they want it, so, if you really want something you have to believe in it.
