Scheming social climber Alexa may be humbly born. But she's a class-hopping cruise missile aimed at the very top of the gold-digging tree. Only a title, mansion and family tiara will do.

But has Florrie's mother, the formidable Lady Annabel, rumbled what Alexa is up to?

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. Historian and biographer Wendy Holden tells the inspirational and uplifting true story of Fredy Hirsch: The Teacher of Auschwitz.

All'ombra delle ciminiere, in una baracca di legno, Fredy Hirsch insegna ai bambini a immaginare un mondo diverso. In questo spazio angusto, i piccoli prigionieri cantano, mettono in scena spettacoli teatrali, scrivono poesie e imparano a conoscere il mondo, circondati da pareti dipinte a mano con colori vivaci. Grazie a Fredy, vengono tenuti al riparo dai parassiti, ricevono cibo migliore e imparano persino a immaginare di avere lo stomaco pieno e vivere un giorno senza paura. Essere un insegnante in un campo di concentramento non è affatto semplice.
