About this title

Review:

"The final volume of her diary, completed two days after her 22nd birthday, carried the inscription: "Do Not Burn!" For the sake of posterity and as a human chronicle, we can be grateful that it was not turned to ash." (The Independent)

"It sounds like a cliché to maintain that a new Anne Frank has been found. But the newly published diary by Ruth Maier has the same magic strength as Anne Frank's diary." (Berlingske Tidende (Denmark))

Book Description:

Ruth Maier's Diary is one of the most moving testimonies to emerge from this dark period of European history
