The Diary of Petr Ginz: 1941-1942 - Hardcover

Review:
Petr's [diary] offers an unsentimental perspective on his changing world, and one that fits his personality: half scientist, half reporter and all, still, little boy... Petr acts as a child historian, and this is where the book derives much of its haunting power. -- Ashley Parker * New York Times * Inspiring. -- Paul Bailey * Independent * Hugely moving. * Financial Times * Impossible to read without tears. * Glasgow Herald * Heartbreaking... A book that may well be as important a diary of the Holocaust as Anne Frank's. * Tablet *
Book Description:
'While the diary in your hands is a resoundingly good book - by just about every imaginable definition - what it stands in opposition to isn't evil, but speechlessness.' - Jonathan Safran Foer, from his Introduction to The Diary of Petr Ginz
