“We must be very, very certain of this,‘ Ana told them. ‘If we join the resistance, we may lose our lives.‘
‘And if we do not,‘ Bartek replied, ‘we may lose our souls.‘”

pickThis book was my bookclub's pick a few months ago. Not gonna lie, I started it & it was way too dark for me to mentally get through. So I found this graphic novel adaptation that felt much more palatable. It's such an important story that I'm glad I know now. The horrors of Auschwitz were unimaginable but the people who survived are heroes. This adaptation did a great job with the story and the art was beautiful, even while showing terrible things
pickA good book that at time is very hard to read. It was Antonio Itrube's debut novel. I know I'm a little late reading it. He writes a historical fiction book based on the true life of Dita, a 15 year old, at Auschwitz that becomes a librarian. She is in charge of keeping the hidden books in Block 31. The Germans don't like books because they make people think. Her story is sad yet inspirational.
