A Delayed Life is the breathtaking memoir that tells the story of Dita Kraus, the real-life Librarian of Auschwitz.

Dita Kraus grew up in Prague in an intellectual, middle-class Jewish family. She went to school, played with her friends, and never thought of herself as being different - until the advent of the Holocaust. Torn from her home, Dita was sent to Auschwitz with her family.

From her time in the children’s block of Auschwitz to her liberation from the camps and on into her adulthood, Dita’s powerful memoir sheds light on an incredible life - one that is delayed no longer.

I really enjoyed the story, and it’s important that we listen to the testimonies of those who suffered during the holocaust. However I didn’t enjoy the narration. The lady has a very smug tone to her voice, and the way she reads the story, it almost gives the impression that Dita Kraus found the whole ordeal simply tiresome; instead of the horror that it actually was.

Annoying narrator

The unselfishness that is shown by Mrs. Kraus sharing with us her a most painful time in many lives, but also sharing the fullness of the rest of her life is greatly appreciated and encouraging to me as a woman. And that there is no need to be aggressive in life, but assertive with grace.
Thank you

So Gratefull
