'A profoundly moving tribute to courage, dignity, and the enduring power of humanity in the face of evil.
Elegantly written and deeply affecting, this is storytelling that honours the truth and ensures it is never forgotten.' Rob Rinder, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Trial
'Haunting and beautiful. Excruciatingly vivid, The Teacher of Auschwitz is rigorously researched and true to the history, powerfully conveying what a smart, loving and energetic man Fredy was.' Dr Elizabeth Baer, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum
'The closest possible narrative a person who did not experience those times herself, could have written... which will do justice to Fredy and all those victims.' Dita Kraus, the real-life inspiration for The Librarian of Auschwitz and one of the last known survivors of the children's block
Fredy built a wall against suffering in their hearts...
At the dark heart of the Holocaust, there was a wooden hut whose walls were painted with cartoons; a place where children sang, staged plays and wrote poetry. Safely inside, but still in the shadow of the chimneys, they were given better food, kept free of vermin, and were even taught meditation to imagine full stomachs and a day without fear. The man who became their guiding light was a young Jewish prisoner named Fredy Hirsch.
But being a teacher in such a brutal concentration camp was no mean feat. Whether it was begging the SS for better provisions, or hiding his homosexuality from his persecutors, he risked his life every day for one thing: to protect the children from the mortal danger they all faced.
Time is running out for Fredy and the hundreds of children in his care. Can he find a way to teach them the one lesson they really need to know: how to survive?
From the bestselling author of Born Survivors, comes an assiduously researched and powerful new novel. Drawn from archives and survivor testimonies, historian and biographer Wendy Holden tells the inspirational and uplifting true story of Fredy Hirsch: The Teacher of Auschwitz.

"Extraordinarily wonderful, moving and superbly researched . . . . A new and remarkably valuable window into that terrible place." - Stephen Fry
"[A] remarkable novel . . . . Wendy Holden lives up to her fine reputation, deftly handling the research she has amassed since she began to immerse herself in this harrowing subject. If you can only bear to read one novel about the Holocaust, let it be this one." - Historical Novel Society

"Haunting and beautiful. Excruciatingly vivid, The Teacher of Auschwitz is rigorously researched and true to the history, powerfully conveying what a smart, loving and energetic man Fredy was." - Dr. Elizabeth Baer, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum
"Wendy Holden delivers a hauntingly powerful tribute to a man whose quiet resistance was built on love, dignity, and courage. The Teacher of Auschwitz is not an easy read, but it is a necessary one. Holden captures the weight of history without sensationalism, honoring Fredy Hirsch's humanity in a setting meant to erase it. This book left me both heavy and heartened. It is a reminder that even in the darkest corners of history, light can exist when someone chooses to be it." - Book Referees
"Even though it occurred more than 70 years ago, the story's truth is so chillingly portrayed that it seems as if it could have happened recently. . . . An engrossing, intense, and highly descriptive narrative chronicling the ghastly conditions three pregnant women suffered through at the hands of the Nazis." - Kirkus Reviews on Born Survivors
"Holden deftly weaves together the stories of three women-Priska, Rachel, and Anka-whose children were born in Nazi concentration camps during the last chaotic weeks of World War II. The author's analysis of each woman's experiences. . . provide[s] valuable insight into the stark choices faced by Jews during the Holocaust. This book is recommended for a wide audience and all libraries." - Library Journal on Born Survivors
"An astonishing and deeply moving work. . . . With remarkable detail gleaned from a wealth of research." - Booklist (starred review) on Born Survivors
