ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Based on the true story of Block 31.
A NOVEL BASED ON THE TESTIMONY OF AN AUSCHWITZ SURVIVOR. DISCOVER THE TRUE STORY OF BLOCK 31.
ALEX EHREN was a poet and teacher in Block 31 at Auschwitz - Birkenau, the children’s block. Every day, he struggled to survive while illegally organizing classes for the students, doing the best he could to shield them from the horrible reality of the camps. But that wasn’t the only illicit activity Alex pursued: He also kept a diary. This masterful autobiographical novel tells the true story of five hundred Jewish children interned in the Auschwitz - Birkenau concentration camp between September 1943 and June 1944.
“Otto B. Kraus’s powerful narrative draws on the force of his own experiences in the barrack schools that met clandestinely in the squalor of Auschwitz, earning him a place among the great writers of the twentieth century.”- ANTONIO G. ITURBE, author of The Librarian of Auschwitz
