September 1938. Hitler’s demands tear Czechoslovakia apart, and a young Jewish girl named Dita Kraus (née Polachová) watches her peaceful childhood in Prague vanish.
This first part follows her early years under Nazi occupation — from losing her home and her father’s work to the harsh realities of the Theresienstadt Ghetto.
Amid fear and persecution, Dita’s strength begins to form — a courage that will one day make her known as the librarian of Auschwitz.
Part 1 of Dita Kraus’s journey – from Prague to Theresienstadt.
