Opis książki:

"A RARE TREASURE EMERGES IN HOLOCAUST LITERATURE"

One of the only known wartime diaries written by an Orthodox Jew
This diary was crafted as a memoir — complete with chapter titles and a table of contents — by its author, a gifted writer and brilliant Talmudic scholar, while in hiding during the years 1942-1944.The events, recorded as the war unfblded, spring off the page with immediacy, urgency, and poignancy.

The author s extraordinary eyewitness account comes to an abrupt end, as he was murdered — only months before liberation.

Saved from destruction, the diary lay untouched in a drawer for many years. Now, more than seventy years later, after undergoing painstaking transcription, translation, and research, the diary is fmally being brought to light.

The diary/memoir of Chaim Yitzchok Wolgelernter depicts-the resilience and spiritual resistance of Jews during the  Holocaust — as well as the attitudes and actions of the  Poles, ranging from Righteous Gentiles to those who  collaborated with the Nazis.

Includes a fascinating postscript of the Wolgelernter family ultimate discovery of the unmarked grave of their father  and other murdered relatives and the re-interment of the i remains in Israel."

Though the author perished, his diary lives on...
