I have read many fiction and nonfiction (mostly children's) books about the Holocaust. This book, based on the real life of Dita Polachova, was amazing. I found it to be one of the most thorough as far as day to day events inside Aushwitz. In addition, it was a testament to the human spirit and what hope can do. I loved the references to events that took place while she was there or other known people that she may have met. My one complaint was that Fredy Hirsch was not resolved in the book but rather in the afterwards but that may be because Dita did not learn the truth until after the events of the book.
Very well done!
