First edition of this powerful collection of diary entries begun by Berg at the age of fifteen, one of the most important documents in the age of Hitler. Octavo, original red cloth. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. Uncommon in this condition.
On her fifteenth birthday, as the German army tightens its grip on Warsaw, Mary Berg begins writing her diary. She does not yet know that by the time she has filled twelve small notebooks she will have endured four years of Nazi terror and recorded in vivid detail some of the most important events of the twentieth century.
