Renia Spiegel was a young girl from an upper-middle class Jewish family living on an estate in Stawki, Poland, near what was at that time the border with Romania. In the summer of 1939, Renia and her sister Elizabeth (neÌe Ariana) were visiting their grandparents in Przemysl, right before the Germans invaded Poland.Like Anne Frank, Renia recorded her days in her beloved diary. She also filled it with beautiful original poetry. Her diary records how she grew up, fell in love, and was rounded up by the invading Nazis and forced to move to the ghetto in Przemsyl withall the other Jews. By luck, Renia's boyfriend Zygmund was able to find a tenement for Renia to hide in with his parents and took her out of the ghetto. This is all described in the Diary, as well as the tragedies that befell her family and her ultimate fate in 1942, as written in by Zygmund on the Diary's final page. Renia's Diary is a significant historical and psychological document. The raw, yet beautiful account depicts Renia's angst over the horrors going on around her. It has been translated from the original Polish, with notes included by her surviving sister, Elizabeth Bellak"-- 600 10 $a Spiegel, Renia, $d 1924-1942 $v Diaries. 650 0 $a Holocaust, 1933-1945 $x Personal narratives. 700 1 $a Bellak, Elizabeth, $e author. 700 1 $a Durand, Sarah, $e author. 700 1 $a Lipstadt, Deborah E. $e author. 700 1 $a Blasiak, Anna, $e translator. 700 1 $a Dziurosz, Marta, $e translator. 941 $a 1 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20230629014322.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C5FA136C166311EA9B100A4E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
