Product Description

Synopsis

Diary entries written by five Holocaust victims document the ordeals suffered in Nazi-occupied Lithuania, Hungary, Belgium, and Holland.


From the Author

the lives of teenagers in the Holocaust
In writing this book, I was interested in broadening the perspective of what it was like to be a teenager in the Holocaust, going beyond Anne Frank and her famous diary to include the experiences of teenagers who were not necessarily in hiding and sometimes wrote their diaries with a gun pointed at their heads. What I found was that the teenage diarists experienced the Holocaust on an entirely different level than did adults. They felt more deeply the humiliation, the loss of friends, the loneliness, the apathy, the fear. Each was a young person coping with the impossible, yet managed, somehow, to hold on to their humanity and ideals until the bitter end. To me, they are enduring symbols of peace in a world that has so little of it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must be read, 18 Nov 2005
By A Customer
Poignant, scary, melancholic, sad. Every teenager should read this in case the true horror of World War Two should ever be forgotten

4.0 out of 5 stars I loved this book and want to learn more about the Holocaust, 3 Jan 1999
By A Customer
This was an excellent book! I just loved how the author added other historical facts about the diarists. This is the type of book that makes you want to learn more about the Holocaust and these teens. It really touches me, because as I read about each one of them, I could see myself, especially since I'm about their age. I would definately recommend this book to just about anyone!
