The newly discovered diary of a Polish teenager in the Lodz ghetto during World War IIoriginally published by Jewish Family & Childrens Services of San Francisco, now available in a revised, illustrated, and beautifully designed trade edition.After more than seventy years in obscurity, the diary of a teenage girl during the Holocaust has been revealed for the first time. Rywkas Diary is at once an astonishing historical document and a moving tribute to the many ordinary people whose lives were forever altered by the Holocaust. At its heart, it is the diary of a girl named Rywka Lipszyc who detailed the brutal conditions that Jews in the Lodz ghetto, the second largest in Poland, endured under the Nazis: poverty, hunger and malnutrition, religious oppression, and, in Rywkas case, the death of her parents and siblings. Handwritten in a school notebook between October 1943 and April 1944, the diary ends literally in midsentence. What became of Rywka is a mystery. A Red Army doctor found her notebook in Auschwitz after its liberation in 1945 and took it back with her to the Soviet Union.Rywkas Diary is also a moving comingofage story, in which a young woman expresses her curiosity about the world and her place in it and reflects on her relationship with Goda remarkable affirmation of her commitment to Judaism and her faith in humanity. Interwoven into this carefully translated diary are photographs, news clippings, maps, and commentary from Holocaust scholars and the girls surviving relatives, which provide an indepth picture of both the conditions of Rywka's life and the mysterious end to her diary.Moving and illuminating, told by a brave young girl whose strong and charismatic voice speaks for millions, Rywkas Diary is an extraordinary addition to the history of the Holocaust and World War II.
