About this title: This collection of diaries, written by young people during the Holocaust, reflects a vast and diverse range of experiences - some of the writers were refugees, others were hiding or passing as non-Jews, and some were imprisoned in ghettos. The volume contains extensive excerpts from 15 diaries, ten of which have never before been translated and published in English. The diarists ranged in age from 12 to 22; some survived the Holocaust, but most perished. Taken together, their accounts of daily events and their often unexpected thoughts, ideas and feelings serve to deepen and complicate our ...

"Alexandra spoke to our group during my fellowship with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in 2002. She was a young scholar fresh from Harvard, and her dedication to deciphering the words of these children has proven invaluable. I use her work in my classroom, and the response from my students is always eye-opening."
"Though this is a collection of diaries and writings by adolescents, it's not a young adult book. It's more academic. Many if not most of the diary excerpts included are either out of print elsewhere or have never been published before. The diaries vary in quality and in detail, reflecting the variety of writers; the only thing they have in common is they were young Jews in occupied Europe. Each diary is prefaced with a detailed introduction describing what is known of the author's life and fate. The diaries are translated from many languages, including Czech, French, German, Hebrew, Polish and Yiddish. The book also includes two excellent appendices which list other known Holocaust diaries and discusses other personal Holocaust writings that don't fall within the scope of the author's project.
This is, I believe, a definitive collection and should be included in every library's Holocaust section. I was very impressed by the editor's scholarship and the wide range of diaries included."
