Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. First UK edition, first impression. Very minor edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, not price clipped (£16.99), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, in almost 'as new' condition. 182pp, illustrated. In 1941, Petr Ginz was a young tee…nager 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. Jacket design by Peter Dyer (illustrator).

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First thus. With many illustrations, A fine copy in fine dustjacket. Not since Anne Frank's The Diary of a Young Girl has such an intimately candid, deeply affecting account of a childhood compromised by Nazi tyranny come to light. As a fourteen-year-old Jewish boy living…in Prague in the early 1940s, Petr Ginz dutifully kept a diary that captured the increasingly precarious texture of daily life. Petr was killed in a gas chamber at Auschwitz at the age of sixteen, and his diariesrecently discovered in a Prague attic under extraordinary circumstancesnow read as the prescient eyewitness account of a meticulous observer. Petr was a young prodigya budding artist and writer whose paintings, drawings, and writings reflect his insatiable appetite for learning and experience. He records the grim facts of his everyday life with a child's keen eye for the absurd and the tragic. ; 225 x 175mm; xii, 180 pages.
