In 1941, Petr Ginz was a young teenager living in Prague with his parents and sister. Adventurous, artistic and optimistic, he wrote poems and novels and edited a children's magazine inside the work camp at Theresienstadt. Originally written in his special code-language, Petr's diaries described daily life for the Ginz family and documented the introduction of anti-Jewish laws from a young adult's point of view - pithy and unsentimental. The writing stopped in 1942 when Petr received his summons, but the books survived in a Prague attic. They recently came to light in extraordinary circumstances and, they were published in the Czech Republic in 2005 to a storm of publicity. Edited by his sister Chava, and including background material and beautiful reproductions of Petr's artwork, this book encapsulates the soul and wisdom of a child caught in an adults' war. Petr Ginz died at the age of sixteen when he was transferred to Auschwitz concentration camp and gassed.
