Abstract:
Viktor Hahn's łódź ghetto diary is one of the few documents concerning the Warsaw ghetto that can be found in the Prague Jewish Museum, and is the only diary written in Czech. The testimony, rather small in volume, discusses two months of the author's stay in the Łódź ghet to and a forced labor camp outside Poznań, but it nevertheless is an interesting source. On the one hand it presents the author's war-time experiences, and on the other, is an excellent picture of the Prague Jewish community deported to the bodź ghetto in the autumn of 1941, who lived in collective residences, the so-called "collectives". The last entries are an excep tional testimony of a man whose name was included in the deportation lists and who by near miracle survived thanks to reporting for forced labor.
