Summary | "Ita Dimant's gripping diary is a detailed account of her experiences in the Holocaust. She describes the chaotic living conditions in the Warsaw ghetto and her dramatic escape to the 'Aryan' side. She wrestles repeatedly with the burden of losing close friends and family, revealing her emotional responses to the unfolding tragedy. As one ghetto after another is liquidated, she becomes a courier carrying vital information and supplies between Polish cities. Ita must rely on her wits, skillful deception, and a few trusted friends, as she seeks to evade the noose closing around her"-- |
