At Once The Diary Of A Young Jewish Girl Under The German Occupation Of Paris, A Work Of Exceptional Literary Quality, And A Powerful Historical Document Simone Weilfrom April 1942 To March 1944, Hlne Berr, A Recent Graduate Of The Sorbonne, Kept A Journal That Is Both An Intensely Moving, Intimate, Harrowing, Appalling Document And A Text Of Astonishing Literary Maturity.With Her Colleagues, She Plays The Violin And She Seeks Refuge From The Everyday In What She Calls The Selfish Magic Of English Literature And Poetry. But This Is Paris Under The Occupation And Her Family Is Jewish.There Are Some Books That Are Great, Not Because Their Writers Were Born For Literary Success, But Because Circumstances Force Upon Them The Writing Of A Truly Great Book. Such A One Is Hlne BerrS Journal Carmen Callileventually, There Comes The Time When All Jews Are Required To Wear A Yellow Star. She Tries To Remain Calm And Rational, Keeping To What Routine She Can: Studying, Reading, Enjoying The Beauty Of Paris. Yet Always There Is Fear For The Future, And Eventually, In March 1944, Hlne And Her Family Are Arrested, Taken To Drancy Transit Camp And Soon Sent To Auschwitz. She Went As Is Later Discovered On The Death March To BergenBelsen And There She Died In 1945, Only Five Days Before The Liberation Of The Camp. The Last Words In The Journal She Had Left Behind In Paris Were Horror! Horror! Horror!, A Hideous And Poignant Echo Of Her English Studies.Hlne BerrS Story Is Almost Too Painful To Read, Foreshadowing Horror As It Does Amidst An Enviable Appetite For Life, For Beauty, For Literature, For All That Lasts.Translated From The French By David Bellos
