Publisher Description
When the walls of the Warsaw Ghetto first went up in November 1940, Emmanuel Ringelblum was there. In the face of horrendous persecution and palpable danger, his goal was to create a written record of life in the Ghetto, not just the destitution and brutality of life under Nazi rule, but out of the shining acts of nobility and heroism by people under the most dire circumstances.
From Inside the Ghetto, Ringelblum, a well-respected historian and archivist, compiled his journal recording daily life in the Ghetto, from its beginnings to the eve of the Ghetto uprising in April 1943. Using accounts and anecdotes from his many friends and neighbours, Ringelblum created a detailed, colourful, and emotional record of one of the most terrible epochs in human history.
Notes from the Warsaw Ghetto is an unflinching, first-hand account of history unfolding before your very eyes.

Warsaw Ghetto
No matter how many holocaust books you read this is a must read. A journal of events occurring in Warsaw written from a different perspective. The writer of the journal was enduring the same horrors but the focus was on how the Jews ,in the ghetto, were reacting to the unrelenting nightmare of the nazis. Mr. Ringelblum left a priceless historical document for future generations. Never forget.
