The five diarists in this book did not survive the war. But their words did. Each diary reveals one voice, one teenager coping with the impossible. We see David Rubinowicz struggling against fear and terror. Yitzhak Rudashevski shows us how Jews clung to culture, to learning, and to hope, until there was no hope at all. Moshe Ze'ev Flinker is the voice of religion, constantly seeking answers from God for relentless tragedy. Eva Heyman demonstrates the unquenchable hunger for life that sustained her until the very last moment. And finally, Anne Frank reveals the largest truth they all left for us: Hitler could kill millions, but he could not destroy the human spirit. These stark accounts of how five young people faced the worst of human evil are a testament, and an inspiration, to the best of the human soul.

This book made me sad. Reading the diaries of young people who did not survive the Holocaust helped me to feel their fear and despair like no other Holocaust book that I have read.

The book has been mailed to booklady331 of Florida. She requested it from the nonfiction virtual bookbox.

Thank you for sharing this book with me. It looks interesting. Thank you, also, for the bookmarkers.

Not much more I can add to what tabby-cat-owner wrote. The are bits of each person’s diary with the author adding commentary.
