Overview

Tras permanecer oculto más de setenta años, sale a la luz el diario de una joven judía polaca que relata su adolescencia y sus últimos días durante el Holocausto.

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

Miércoles, 15 de julio de 1942
«Recuerda este día, recuérdalo bien. Se lo contarás a las generaciones que están por venir. Desde las ocho de hoy estamos encerrados en el gueto. Ahora vivo aquí. El mundo está aislado de mí y yo estoy aislada del mundo.»
Renia Spiegel tiene quince años y es una adolescente como muchas otras. Le gusta escribir poesía, reunirse con las amigas y divertirse. Pero Renia es judía, vive en Polonia y estamos en 1939. Con el inicio de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, su mundo empieza a desmoronarse. Ese mismo año comienza un diario. En él relata su adolescencia marcada por la añoranza de su madre, por la amistad y por el amor, además 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 también la pena que siente por los soldados alemanes que ve desfilar a través del muro, tan jóvenes, 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 Unión Soviética, sus miedos y las terribles humillaciones durante la creación del gueto. Será precisamente el chico quien firmará la desgarradora última entrada del diario, tres años después de que Renia lo empiece.
Este extraordinario y conmovedor relato, rescatado en condiciones increíbles, llegó a manos de la madre y la hermana de Renia, quienes sobrevivieron al Holocausto, y ha permanecido oculto durante más de siete décadas, hasta la actualidad.

Este testimonio inédito viene acompañado por una introducción de la historiadora estadounidense Deborah Lipstadt y un cuadernillo de fotos, así como por un prefacio, un epílogo y unas notas de Elizabeth Bellak, la hermana menor de la autora.
«Durante la lectura del diario recordé, como les sucederá a muchos lectores, la icónica obra de Anne Frank. A Renia Spiegel, una joven llena de amor por la vida y que poseía la habilidad de describir la belleza del mundo que la rodeaba, se le negó con una bala lo que tanto quería: un futuro. De no ser por este diario, habría terminado, junto a otros millones de personas, en el cruel olvido que la mayoría de las víctimas 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 añadido de ser olvidada.»
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. “I 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 that’s why I have decided to look for a confidant in the form of a diary.” And so begins an extraordinary document of an adolescent girl’s hopes and dreams. By the fall of 1939, Renia and her younger sister Elizabeth (née 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, Renia’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 city’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.
