Today we have a preview for you of The Librarian of Auschwitz, adapted by Salva Rubio from Antonio Iturbe’s novel of the same name, with art by Loreto Aroca. The story is a fiction but based on the experiences of a real person, Dita Kraus. While the original was rated for grade 8 up by SLJ reviewers, the graphic novel is targeted at a middle-grade audience, grades 3-7.

    Love this moving excerpt. The drawings are beautiful. I appreciate the reminder of the reality of what happened in the camps in WWII.
