«Mi amigo Friedrich» is the historical novel by Hans Peter Richter, published by RBA Libros in paperback (176 pages, in Spanish).
The narrator recalls his childhood in Nazi Germany alongside Friedrich, his neighbour and best friend. What seems like an ordinary life begins to fall apart: Friedrich's father loses his job, a mob storms his house, and he is forced to change schools. All because Friedrich is Jewish and antisemitism spreads unchecked.
Originally published in 1961 under the title «Damals war es Friedrich»; it won the Mildred L. Batchelder Award in 1972.
Aimed at young readers, it is a common reading in schools to address the Holocaust and tolerance.
