In the horror of Auschwitz, Fredy Hirsch secretly builds a school. Dita, a young prisoner, risks her life to hide and protect the fragile books of the world's smallest clandestine library. Amidst the desolation, Dita teaches us a valuable lesson in courage, clinging to life and reading, demonstrating that even in the most terrible of camps, a book can be an escape and hope.
