Fredy built a wall against suffering in their hearts . . . Amid the brutality of the Holocaust, one bright spot shone inside the Nazi death camp of Auschwitz. In the shadows of the smokestacks was a wooden hut where children sang, staged plays, wrote poetry, and learned about the world. Within those four walls, brightly adorned with hand-painted cartoons, the youngest prisoners were kept vermin-free, received better food, and were even taught to imagine having full stomachs and a day without fear. Their guiding light was a twenty-seven-year-old gay, Jewish athlete: Fredy Hirsch. Being a teacher in a brutal concentration camp was no mean feat. Forced to beg senior SS officers for better provisions, Fredy risked his life every day to protect his beloved children from mortal danger. But time was running out for Fredy and the hundreds in his care. Could this kind, compassionate, and brave man find a way to teach them the one lesson they really needed to know: how to survive? The Teacher of Auschwitz shines a light on a truly remarkable individual and tells the inspiring story of how he fought to protect innocence and hope amid depravity and despair"--cProvided by publisher.10aHirsch, Fredy,d1916-1944vFiction.91974620aAuschwitz (Concentration camp)vFiction.910175 0aWorld War, 1939-1945xConcentration campszPolandvFiction.919747 0aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)zPolandvFiction.919748 7aBiographical fiction.2lcgft9975 7aHistorical fiction.2lcgft9129 7aNovels.2lcgft950  a7bcbccorignewd1eecipf20gy-gencatlg  2ddccBOOK  c30575d30575  2ddc4070aABELJbABELJcAFd2025-04-25g18.99l2oHOLDp40308q2025-09-17r2025-09-03s2025-09-03w2025-04-25yBOOK11
