Summary
The diary of Eva Mandlova, who at the age of 20, became a prisoner in Theresienstadt, a Nazi concentration camp. From the time she entered the camp on December 17, 1941 through the three years that passed before she was liberated, Eva kept a record of not only the horrors of life in the camp, but of how she and the other prisoners tried to find a semblance of normal life-making friends, sharing laughter, and helping each other grieve.

Publisher's Notes
In 1941, 20-year-old Eva Mandlova arrived at the Nazi's "model" concentration camp, Theresienstadt. Experiencing moments of laughter and the most profound pain, Eva lost her closest relatives to the camps. Never before published, her diary shows the horror of Theresienstadt, where the relatively "good" conditions left the prisoners to make impossible moral choices every day.

The Diary of a Young Girl
by Anne Frank
The diary as Anne Frank wrote it. At last, in a new translation, this definitive edition contains entries about Annes burgeoning sexuality and confrontations with her mother that were cut from previous editions. Anne Franks The Diary of a Young Girl is among the most enduring documents of the twentieth century. Since its publication in 1947, it has been a beloved and deeply admired monument to the indestructible nature of the human spirit, read by millions of people and translated into more than fifty-five languages. Doubleday, which published the first English translation of the diary in 1952, now offers a new translation that captures Annes youthful spirit and restores the original material omitted by Annes father, Otto -- approximately thirty percent of the diary. The elder Frank excised details about Annes emerging sexuality, and about the often-stormy relations between Anne and her mother. Anne Frank and her family, fleeing the horrors of Nazi occupation forces, hid in the back of an Amsterdam office building for two years. This is Anne's record of that time. She was thirteen when the family went into the "Secret Annex," and in these pages, she grows to be a young woman and proves to be an insightful observer of human nature as well. A timeless story discovered by each new generation, The Diary of a Young Girl stands without peer. For young readers and adults, it continues to bring to life this young woman, who for a time survived the worst horrors the modern world had seen -- and who remained triumphantly and heartbreakingly human throughout her ordeal.

We're Alive and Life Goes On: A Theresienstadt Diary
Roubickova, Eva
New York, New York, U.S.A.: Henry Holt and Co. (BYR). Hardcover. 0805053522 This book has a little shelf wear. On December 17, 1941, twenty-year-old Eva M?ndlov? arrived at the Nazi's "model" concentration camp, Theresienstadt. From that day until she was freed three and a half years later, she kept a diary. At times sweet and personal, at times agonized and profound, Eva is a human voice amidst inhuman evil.Through Eva's eyes, the camp sometimes "even resembles normal life," as she makes friends and talks with Benny, or Egon, or Otto. But at any moment, anyone may be "selected" for a transport to "Poland." No one ever returns from "Poland."Never before published, Eva's diary is a true-life Sophie's Choice in which each day brings impossible decisions. As a Gentile man inexplicably helps her, Eva must decide who should share her bounty. As close friends and loved ones are sent away, she has to decide, over and over again, whether to ask to join them on their final journey. . Very Good. 1998. 1st Printing.
