Plot

Covering a ten month period from March 1942 to January 1943, Lewin's diary is an extraordinary account of Jewish life under Nazi rule. It is a testament to the daily hunger and degradation of the Warsaw ghetto, of the deportation to Treblinka, and of the relentless and unforgiving brutality of the Nazis.
