ebooks The American Revolution: Writings from the Pamphlet Debate 1764-1776 by Gordon S. Wood; Various in History

Description

Rutka Laskier; a 14-year-old Jewish girl in the town of Bedzin in Poland; died in Auschwitz in 1943. But she left behind a notebook in which she recorded her thoughts; fears and dreams. Some are the musings of any adolescent girl; others are the despairing cries of an individual caught in history's vortex. Now; after 60 years in the keeping of a friend; that notebook has been recovered - and it opens a unique; moving window into the everyday life of Polish Jews caught in the throes of Adolf Hitler's Final Solution. Hailed as the "Polish Anne Frank;" Rutka Laskier now speaks to us across the decades: a witness to evil; a voice for the silent; and a timeless symbol of resolve. The editors of "TIME" add annotations; photos; maps; and quotations that help bring this tragic era into compelling focus for today's readers.
