Description
A publication of international importance and a book that will endure for decades In 1938, when her diary begins, Helga is eight years old. Alongside her father and mother and the roughly 40,000 Jews who lived in Prague at the time, she endures the first wave of Nazi brutality: her father is denied work; schools are closed to her; she and her parents are eventually confined to their flat. In 1941, Helga and her parents are sent to Terezin concentration camp, where they live for three years, and then, in 1944, Helga's father is sent to Auschwitz. Helga and her mother choose to follow him there, not realising what lies in wait for them. Helga's uncle bricks her diary into a wall to preserve it. Miraculously, she and some of her family survive. As Helga writes down her experiences since Terezin, completing the diary at home in Prague, she is fifteen and a half. She is one of only a tiny number of Jews who remain in the city. Written in pencil in school exercise books and translated here for the first time, Helga's diary is a moving and exceptionally important first-hand account of the Holocaust.
