As the Nazis swept across Europe during World War II, Jewish
victims wrote diaries in which they grappled with the terror
unfolding around them. Some wrote simply to process the
contradictory bits of news they received; some wrote so that their
children, already safe in another country, might one day understand
what had happened to their parents; and some wrote to furnish
unknown readers in the outside world with evidence against the Nazi
regime.
Were these diarists resisters, or did the process of writing make
the ravages of the Holocaust even more difficult to bear? Drawing
on an astonishing array of unpublished and published diaries from
all over German-occupied Europe, historian Alexandra Garbarini
explores the multiple roles that diary writing played in the lives
of these ordinary women and men. A story of hope and hopelessness,
"Numbered Days" offers a powerful examination of the complex
interplay of writing and mourning. And in these heartbreaking
diaries, we see the first glimpses of a question that would haunt
the twentieth century: Can such unimaginable horror be represented
at all?
