Dita Kraus (born Edith Polachová; 12 July 1929) is an Auschwitz survivor known for being The Auschwitz Librarian

Early life

Dita Kraus (born Edith Polachová) was born in Prague, Czechoslovakia (now Czech Republic) on 12 July 1929. She was the only daughter of Hans Polach and Elisabeth Polach. Her father was a lawyer and her mother was a housewife. She and her parents lived in a rental apartment in U Smaltovny street in Holešovice. Due to the creation of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia the family were forced to move out of their apartment ^[1]. In November 1942, Dita and her parents were sent to the Theresienstadt concentration camp. Then they were told that they were to be transported to the East. Their final destination was to the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp in December 1943. From there, Dita and her parents were immediately seperated.^[2] While in Auschwitz, she and her mother were sent to the women's barracks. Her father died six weeks after their arrival.^[3]
