My Terezín diary 1943-1944

When Helga Pollak was 12 years old, she and her father, Otto Pollak, were deported to the Terezín ghetto. From January 1943 until her transport to Auschwitz in October 1944, she lived in girls' home L 410, room 28, where she confided only in her diary. Combined with Otto Pollak's notes, the book weaves together the memories and documents of both father and daughter, evoking a sense of community, fear, and hope. Helga Pollak's story serves as a testament and a reminder of the fate of Jewish children.
