Overview

Tras permanecer oculto mĆ”s de setenta aƱos, sale a la luz el diario de una joven judĆ­a polaca que relata su adolescencia y sus Ćŗltimos dĆ­as durante el Holocausto.

Un testimonio de vida profundamente humano, veraz e impactante.
Un legado de poesĆ­a y amor.

MiƩrcoles, 15 de julio de 1942
Ā«Recuerda este dĆ­a, recuĆ©rdalo bien. Se lo contarĆ”s a las generaciones que estĆ”n por venir. Desde las ocho de hoy estamos encerrados en el gueto. Ahora vivo aquĆ­. El mundo estĆ” aislado de mĆ­ y yo estoy aislada del mundo.Ā»
Renia Spiegel tiene quince aƱos y es una adolescente como muchas otras. Le gusta escribir poesƭa, reunirse con las amigas y divertirse. Pero Renia es judƭa, vive en Polonia y estamos en 1939. Con el inicio de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, su mundo empieza a desmoronarse. Ese mismo aƱo comienza un diario. En Ʃl relata su adolescencia marcada por la aƱoranza de su madre, por la amistad y por el amor, ademƔs de las atrocidades que la rodean.
Pese a todo, el diario es un texto lleno de sensibilidad y ganas de vivir, en el que Renia menciona tambiĆ©n la pena que siente por los soldados alemanes que ve desfilar a travĆ©s del muro, tan jĆ³venes, tan lejos de sus seres queridos y tan cerca de la muerte. Asimismo, describe emocionada la primera vez que besa a su novio, cuatro horas antes de que los nazis invadan la UniĆ³n SoviĆ©tica, sus miedos y las terribles humillaciones durante la creaciĆ³n del gueto. SerĆ” precisamente el chico quien firmarĆ” la desgarradora Ćŗltima entrada del diario, tres aƱos despuĆ©s de que Renia lo empiece.
Este extraordinario y conmovedor relato, rescatado en condiciones increĆ­bles, llegĆ³ a manos de la madre y la hermana de Renia, quienes sobrevivieron al Holocausto, y ha permanecido oculto durante mĆ”s de siete dĆ©cadas, hasta la actualidad.
_________________________________________________________________
Este testimonio inĆ©dito viene acompaƱado por una introducciĆ³n de la historiadora estadounidense Deborah Lipstadt y un cuadernillo de fotos, asĆ­ como por un prefacio, un epĆ­logo y unas notas de Elizabeth Bellak, la hermana menor de la autora.
Ā«Durante la lectura del diario recordĆ©, como les sucederĆ” a muchos lectores, la icĆ³nica obra de Anne Frank. A Renia Spiegel, una joven llena de amor por la vida y que poseĆ­a la habilidad de describir la belleza del mundo que la rodeaba, se le negĆ³ con una bala lo que tanto querĆ­a: un futuro. De no ser por este diario, habrĆ­a terminado, junto a otros millones de personas, en el cruel olvido que la mayorĆ­a de las vĆ­ctimas del Holocausto tuvieron como destino. La han "rescatado" quienes conservaron el diario y quienes trabajaron para publicarlo. No pudieron salvarla de su cruel final, ni pudieron darle el futuro que tanto ansiaba, pero la rescataron del dolor aƱadido de ser olvidada.Ā»
Deborah E. Lipstadt, profesora Dorot de Historia del Holocausto en la Universidad de Emory

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The long-hidden diary of a young Polish woman's life during the Holocaust, translated for the first time into English

Renia Spiegel was born in 1924 to an upper-middle class Jewish family living in southeastern Poland, near what was at that time the border with Romania. At the start of 1939 Renia began a diary. ā€œI just want a friend. I want somebody to talk to about my everyday worries and joys. Somebody who would feel what I feel, who would believe me, who would never reveal my secrets. A human being can never be such a friend and thatā€™s why I have decided to look for a confidant in the form of a diary.ā€ And so begins an extraordinary document of an adolescent girlā€™s hopes and dreams. By the fall of 1939, Renia and her younger sister Elizabeth (nĆ©e Ariana) were staying with their grandparents in Przemysl, a city in the south, just as the German and Soviet armies invaded Poland. Cut off from their mother, who was in Warsaw, Renia and her family were plunged into war.

Like Anne Frank, Reniaā€™s diary became a record of her daily life as the Nazis spread throughout Europe. Renia writes of her mundane school life, her daily drama with best friends, falling in love with her boyfriend Zygmund, as well as the agony of missing her mother, separated by bombs and invading armies. Renia had aspirations to be a writer, and the diary is filled with her poignant and thoughtful poetry. When she was forced into the cityā€™s ghetto with the other Jews, Zygmund is able to smuggle her out to hide with his parents, taking Renia out of the ghetto, but not, ultimately to safety. The diary ends in July 1942, completed by Zygmund, after Renia is murdered by the Gestapo.

Renia's Diary has been translated from the original Polish, and includes a preface, afterword, and notes by her surviving sister, Elizabeth Bellak. An extraordinary historical document, Renia Spiegel survives through the beauty of her words and the efforts of those who loved her and preserved her legacy.
