RYWKA'S DIARY
The Writings of a Jewish Girl from the Lodz Ghetto
The Holocaust diary of 14-year-old Rywka Lipszyc was recently brought to the public by the Jewish Family and Children's Services, in partnership with Lehrhaus Judaica. In a very limited edition they published the diary with extra material by National Jewish Book Award winner Alexandra Zapruder.
In 1940, the Nazis forced young Rywka Lipszyc and her family into what would become Poland's notorious Lodz Ghetto. After witnessing the death of her parents and deportation of her younger siblings, Rywka, at the age of 14, began to record her thoughts and dreams in a precious diary. Discovery of this rare manuscript prompted exhaustive research into what actually happened to Rywka. While it is known that Rywka survived the war, collaborative efforts of archivists and historians around the world have not uncovered the mystery of her ultimate fate. In one sense the manuscript reads like a detective novel with a mysterious ending. Accompanied by rich background materials and edited by National Jewish Book Award recipient Alexandra Zapruder, the diary is destined to become an important source of inspiration for students of the Holocaust around the world.
The English version is available. Rywka's original Polish text will be made available for translation purposes. We can discuss if the scholarly texts in the original edition should be replaced with texts based on a foreign publisher's suggestion.
