Fem häften med dagboksanteckningar ger denna viktiga bok. Dawid skriver enkelt och tydligt om sin tid i Lodz getto från dess start fram till sin död. Tydliga och korta meningar som dag för dag beskriver vilket helvete gettot var. Svält, svält och åter svält är det som upptar Dawids tankar eller kanske är det mat, mat och mat.

An amazing diary by a young communist activist which provides illuminating insights not only into the inhumanity of the Nazis but also the disgusting complicity of the ghetto administration in the Holocaust.

This book is heartbreaking, and entirely necessary. I genuinely don’t understand how it could be given anything less than 5 stars. It was never written to be a published book, but offers up the rare and ever forgotten experience of life inside the ghettos of Nazi Germany. This book is raw tragedy at its core, but it’s a must read for anyone seeking to understand life during Nazi occupation on a wider spectrum. What kind of people would we be if we ignored certain aspects of it all? Even more important, these diaries haven’t been heavily edited and censored by others, an aspect we all need to take into consideration when it comes to reading Holocaust literature. Yes, there are some sections missing, but that’s no fault of an author leaving a story undone. It’s the result of a Genocide sought to be erased. We need to remember that as readers.
