Scroll of agony : the Warsaw diary of Chaim A. Kaplan

Twenty years after the Warsaw Ghetto was annihilated, Chaim Kaplan's diary was found carefully preserved in a kerosene can. Originally written in Hebrew, the journal begins on September 1, 1939, as the author, who had been a respected member of the Warsaw Jewish community for forty years, records the Nazi blitzkrieg that stunned the world.
