- Inspiring and fascinating tale of the strength of human spirit during one of humanity's darkest hours; - Reminiscent of both The Diary of Anne Frank, A Woman in Berlin and Suite Francaise; - Beautifully packaged in an attractive hardback, gift format for the Christmas market and containing original photographs and maps; - A unique insight from one of the few survivors of the Warsaw Ghetto, offering the only contemporary eye-witness account. After 60 years of silence, The Diary of Mary Berg is poised at last to gain the appreciation and widespread attention that it so richly deserves, and is certain to take it's place alongside The Diary of Anne Frank as one of the most significant memoirs of the twentieth century. From love to tragedy, seamlessly combining the everyday concerns of a growing teenager with a unique commentary on life in one of the darkest contexts of history. This is a work remarkable for its authenticity, detail, and poignancy. But it is not only as a factual report on the life and death of a people that The Diary of Mary Berg ranks with the most noteworthy documents of the Second World War. This is the personal story of a life-loving girl's encounter with unparalleled human suffering, a uniquely illuminating insight into one of the darkest chapters of history. Mary Berg was imprisoned in the ghetto from 1940 to 1943. Unlike so many others, she survived the war, rescued in a prisoner-of-war exchange due to her mother's dual Polish-American nationality. Her diary was published in 1945 when she was still only 19, in an attempt to alert the world to the Nazi atrocities in Poland, when it was described as "one of the most heartbreaking documents yet to come out of the war" by the /New Yorker/. After the war, Berg remained in America in quiet anonimity.

For anyone intererested in the Holocaust, this diary would be a wonderful addition to their library. At the tender age of fifteen, Mary Berg started to experience the cruelty of Nazism towards the Jewish people. Her story is poignant and sad but she was one of the blessed ones. She escaped. I would have liked to know if she went on to live a happy life but she apparently dropped out of sight voluntarily . A good read.

A valuable addition to Holocaust literature
Having taught Holocaust history at high school level for many years, I have amassed a huge collection of Holocaust and Holocaust-inspired literature. The Diary of Mary Berg though originally written many years ago, has only just been released in print form. It chronicles Mary Berg's wartime experiences in Poland, covering events such as the Nazi incursion into Warsaw, the Warsaw Ghetto & its famous uprising, and the liquidation of the ghetto. Though Mary Berg and her family were able to escape the ghetto and survived the war, this diary provides a poignant look at wartime life and is a valuable addition to Holocaust literature.
