Extensive excerpts from fifteen diaries, ten of them in English for the first time, reveal a stirring fusion of daily events—bread lines, work details, hideouts, deportations—and the innermost thoughts and feelings of young people (ages 12 to 22) living under Nazi persecution.
"It could come any time now. Dachau—150 boxcars of the dead. In us there is a collision between the dread of the unfinished struggle and that which is finished." (Alice Ehrmann, Terezin, May 1, 1945). Introductions establish when and where each diary was written, as well as the biographical, cultural, and economic circumstances (and eventual fate, if known) of each diarist.
