The Wartime Diary Of Edmund Kessler

More about the book

The diary of Dr. Kessler offers a poignant, first-hand account of the Holocaust, detailing his harrowing experiences in the Lwow Ghetto, Janowska Concentration Camp, and an underground bunker where he was sheltered by a brave Polish family. Complemented by a chapter from Kazimierz Kalwinski, who aided the hidden Jews, the narrative is enriched by Renata Kessler's epilogue about her quest to uncover her father's story. A historical overview by Antony Polonsky further contextualizes this vital resource for understanding the Holocaust.
