I have to write to silence the pain. Such a terrible, grim time. We don’t know what tomorrow will bring. We expect families to be taken away. Not a word from Mamma or Daddy. It’s not good with Zygmunt, either. I really didn’t want to admit that I’m seething with venom. But I can’t stop myself. I have tears in my eyes from grief and the tips of my fingers are tingling with anger.
—Renia Spiegel began her diary in January 1939 at the age of 15.
