About this product

Product Information

In 1939, Helga Weiss was a young Jewish schoolgirl in Prague. As she endured the first waves of the Nazi invasion, she began to document her experiences in a diary. During her internment at the concentration camp of Terezín, Helga's uncle hid her diary in a brick wall. Of the 15,000 children brought to Terezín and deported to Auschwitz, there were only one hundred survivors. Helga was one of them. Miraculously, she was able to recover her diary from its hiding place after the war. These pages reveal Helga's powerful story through her own words and illustrations. Includes a special interview with Helga by translator Neil Bermel.

Reviews
At times the struggle of this young girl in the face of evil becomes so real that you'll notice yourself adjusting your blanket and thermostat right along with her as she shivers in the worst of conditions., What's startling, throughout, is the resilience with which her buoyant spirit keeps bobbing up past the hardships, indignities, and cruelties of her captors., She is one of few children to survive Auschwitz. Even with all the books that have been published, this one, with its immediacy and child's point of view, is hard to forget., Reads with refreshing immediacy, describing how a smart, spirited young girl negotiated increasingly desperate circumstances., Helga's Diary is another moving testimony to the courage, endurance and painfully premature maturity of the young victims of the Holocaust., Touches raw nerves and contains the potential to send shock waves through the oeuvre of Holocaust memoirs...Astonishing., Describes the unfolding horrors of the Holocaust as seen through the eyes of a young girl. The young Helga responds to hardship with indignation and defiance, maintaining a sharp sense of observation while trying to make sense of the upheaval and suffering she sees., Written in spare prose and infused with a touching mixture of a child's drive for discovery and an adult's dread of a wartime future, Helga's Diary touches raw nerves and contains the potential to send shock waves through the oeuvre of Holocaust memoirs.
