Résumé

In a place of death, he taught them to live... 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. 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 children in his care. Can he find a way to teach them the one lesson they really need to know : how to survive ? Based on assiduous research and survivor testimonies, The Teacher of Auschwitz highlights a forgotten war hero who refused to be a bystander to hate. This novel ensures that the name Fredy Hirsch will never be forgotten.
Wendy Holden was a respected journalist and war correspondent for the Daily Telegraph, covering news stories around the world. A Fellow of the Royal Historical Society, she is the author of more than forty non-fiction titles featuring inspirational men and women, many of which are international bestsellers. They include Born Survivors, the true story of three young mothers who hid their pregnancies from the Nazis and gave birth in the camps, published in twenty-four countries, and One Hundred Miracles the memoir of musician Zuzana Ruzicková who survived three concentration camps.
She also wrote the No.1 bestseller Tomorrow Will Be a Good Day, the memoir of British centenarian Captain Sir Tom Moore, and Tomorrow to Be Brave about the only woman in the French Foreign Legion in WWII. Other books include Behind Enemy Lines about a French Jewish spy ; A Woman of Firsts the memoir of the "Muslim Mother Teresa" ; and I Give You My Heart about a Catholic couple in Poland who paid the ultimate price for hiding a Jewish child.
She lives in Suffolk, England, with her husband and two dogs.
