Limited to a tiny run of just 800 copies! -- In 1939, Helga Weiss was a young Jewish schoolgirl in Prague. She was likely able to escape the gas chamber when she lied to Dr Joseph Mengele on a train platform and told him she was old enough to work. As she endured the first waves of the Nazi invasion, she began to document her experiences in a diary. During her internment at the concentration camp of TerezĂn, Helga’s uncle hid her diary in a brick wall. Of the 15,000 children brought to TerezĂn and deported to Auschwitz, there were only one hundred survivors. Helga was one of them. Miraculously, she was able to recover her diary from its hiding place after the war. These pages reveal Helga’s powerful story through her own words and illustrations. While Anne Frank's diary has the intrigue of her family's hidden saferoom/evasion, it sadly cannot continue her account through the concentration camp. Though not as famous, Helga's diary continues that first person description of survival into the camps, still through the eyes of a young girl.Condition: SEALED in original plastic, with original shipping box.
