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.
