It took me so long to read this because it was just…hard. The things these people had to go through were just horrifying and unbelievable.

This was a challenging read, naturally, but I loved this book nonetheless.
There was so much that I hadn’t even realized I didn’t know about Auschwitz and the Holocaust, and I appreciated being able to learn more deeply, although it was horrible to read about all that happened. Most of all, I loved how the library was even a small light in the darkness of the war; it shows what happens when you don’t give up, and maybe it can give us hope even now.

As is the expectation of books written about The Holocaust, this one book was a horrific reminder of the cruelty of mankind but also of the resilience of people who suffered unimaginably..
The writing was engaging and touching with metaphors that amplified the tragic events . DonMt miss the postscript.
I read and reviewed this book, provided by NetGalley and publisher in exchange for my honest review, during the COVID pandemic and the story served as a reminder that though we think we are going through hard times with recent restrictions, we still have much to be thankful for.
I think this book will be as popular as other authors writing about the lives of those in concentration camps, such as Heather Morris, this one too is well written and difficult to put down or be unmoved by.

Un libro que te hace ver lo importante de la lectura para el pensamiento crítico propio, como durante estas dictaduras ven tan amenazantes los libros y el conocimiento que podemos adquirir a través de ellos.
