Reviews
This is the closest possible narrative a person who did not experience those times herself, could have written... This novel is a most important work, which will do justice to Fredy and all those victims.Dita Kraus, the real-life inspiration for The Librarian of Auschwitz
The Teacher of Auschwitz tells the remarkable and heart-breaking story of an extraordinarily brave man who did all he could to protect hundreds of children caught up in the horrors of the Holocaust. His story serves as a powerful and timely reminder that we can all make the choice to stand up for others, and we do not have to be silent in the face of hate. Wendy Holden has brought Fredy's incredible story to life, ensuring that his legacy will live on for generations to come.Chief Executive Karen Pollock CBE, Holocaust Educational Trust
