Dita is one of many imprisoned at Auschwitz. She has secretly been asked to keep the eight precious books that are in Camp 31, which is for the children. Books are not allowed, so she has to secretly keep them in a safe place.
We learn of the atrocities that occur at this place and let's hope history never repeats itself.
