Literature has the same impact as a match lit in the middle of a field in the middle of the night . The match illuminates relatively little but it enables us to see how much darkness surrounds it .

In fact, she has always known— that he’s not mad. If they lock you up in a lunatic asylum, the worst thing that can happen to you is that you’re sane.
Seemed like a good book to read while in Poland. #warsaw #bookstagram #antonioiturbe (at Warsaw, Poland) https://www.instagram.com/p/B038Qp6gjX5/?igshid=1isc5e1zljroz
The Librarian of Auschwitz by Antonio Iturbe is the story of Dita, who was taken from Prague to Auschwitz and imprisoned by the Nazis. “In the face of death and hunger and deplorable conditions everyday, Dita took charge of the eight precious books that had been smuggled into camp. A tremendous story of courage and hope.” An amazing story about the ability for people to function and sustain their humanity. A look at the importance of books and words. Would be a great book for high school or middle school teachers 👩🏻🏫 to put a face on the death camps. A terrible reminder of the evil men are capable of. Not graphic, but some terrible images. Well worth your time. Another outstanding audiobook performance, with an introduction from Dita herself. “Books are extremely dangerous; they make people think.” #thelibrarianofauschwitz #antonioiturbe #audiobook #historicalfiction #bookstagram #bookshelf #booknerd #bookhoarder #bookworm #booklover #bookish #bookreview #hardcover #novel #bookaddict #bookaholic #bookcover #bookhaul #bibliophile #goodreads #homelibrary #bradslibrary https://www.instagram.com/p/BnYvP07Fa0f/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1kesoq21svlji
