Diaries
Among the most personal and immediate accounts of life under Nazi tyranny are the many diaries kept by persons of all ages and backgrounds. In these journals, diarists recorded their private reactions to major events and life-changing incidents, such as the deportation of loved ones or acts of resistance in the ghettos. But diaries also capture the seemingly mundane, everyday tasks--gathering food, playing with friends, caring for family members--rendered all the more poignant because they were written in the shadow of Nazi persecution.
