"The real disease is intolerance"
This book was tearjearking, insightful and at certain times humorous. It really allowed me to delve deeper into the Holocaust and the atrocities that happened in Auschwitz. It is a constant reminder to us all that we can never forget what happened, and Antonio Iturbe did a superb job at ensuring Dita Kraus's voice was heard.
"Adults are corrupted. That's why young people are so important. You can still shape them, improve them"
