Summary
In this diary, written in the first half of 1943, a A Jewish woman from Amsterdam, seamstress by profession, describes her disastrous experience on the road to destruction. After her arrest, she held some time in the Hollandse Schouwburg in Amsterdam. She writes almost every day about the forced labor, the cruelty of the guards and the horrible children's transport, which start in June 1943. Then she is staying three months in Vught. Her diary is in fact a long indictment against her persecutors, written in a direct, raw style. She was deported from Vught to Westerbork and from there to Sobibor. Her diary was long hidden but now sees the light, a poignant testimony from the first hand of one of the 102,000 Dutch victims of the Holocaust.
