Name:	Diary of Dawid Sierakowiak: Five Notebooks from the Lodz Ghetto
Product Code:	9780195122855
Description:	By Dawid Sierakowiak
Product Detail:	Dawid’s diary begins with details expected from any teenage boy: aspirations, friends, and girls. It is noteworthy because it also includes a growing awareness of European politics and the perils of being a Polish Jewish teenager in the summer of 1939. It ends with desperation and questions about survival and hunger. Beautifully written during Dawid’s teenage years, it remains tragically overwhelming. It is one of the most fastidiously detailed accounts ever rendered of modern life in human bondage. The diary is a remarkable legacy left to humanity by its teenage author. After the liberation of the Lodz ghetto, Dawid's notebooks were nearly burned for fuel. David Sierakowiak was one of more than 60,000 Jews who perished in that notorious urban slave camp. A new awareness of life's richness can be our reward for reading the diary of this brilliantly deserving and brutally deprived young human being.
