I must tell

"The famous diary that tells of the suffering and death of the Jews of Vilna." (Die Zeit)When the Germans occupy Lithuania on June 24, 1941, Masha is fourteen years old. So monstrous are the events that abruptly destroy her childhood that she decides to record them in a diary. The Jews of Vilna are sent to the ghetto, and later to the concentration camp, including Masha with her mother and three siblings. But diary writing is dangerous. Mascha destroys the book and memorizes her notes. As a survivor, she bears witness to the destruction of her world. "One follows spellbound and shaken to the last page." (Neue Zürcher Zeitung).
