"In The Wartime Diary of Edmund Kessler," Dr. Kessler, a Jewish
attorney from Lwow, Poland, gives an eye-witness account of the
Holocaust through the events recorded in his diary between the
years, 1942-1944. In vivid, raw, documentary style, he describes
his experiences in the Lwow Ghetto, the Janowska Concentration
Camp, and in an underground bunker where he and twenty-three other
Jews were hidden by a courageous Polish farmer and his family. The
book includes a chapter written by Kazimierz Kalwinski, who, as a
teenager, was a care-taker for the hidden Jews on his family's
farm. Edmund's daughter, Renata Kessler, coordinated the book and
has written the epilogue about her search for the story, which has
taken her to Israel, Poland, and Lviv, Ukraine. Renowned scholar
Antony Polonsky contributes an insightful historical overview of
the times in which the book takes place. A tremendous resource for
historians, scholars, and all serious students of the Holocaust.
