Abstract:
Report in form of a diary, November 29, 1941 to November 2, 1943 about Jews from the town of Wischnitz in the Bucovina (today Wyschnyzja, Ukraine), who were deported to the province of Transnistria and interned in Jewish ghettos. Rosenstock focuses on the social life and the psychological situation of the internees. In particular he describes the effects of the periodical upcoming rumors about the war and their uncertain future. The discussion about these rumors, called "Ipa’s" (= Jewish rumor), like the transfer to Palestine, the upcoming end of the war etc., play an important role in the social life of the internees. The "Ipa’s" help them to cope with the daily horror and give them hope. Rosenstock describes it as "dreaming with open eyes". Rosenstock also describes the ghetto’s organization, its Jewish self-government, and the rivalries between the different ethnical groups in the village.
Abstract:
Wolf Rosenstock dedicated the report to the memory of his two sisters, Lea and Rosa, who were killed in Transnistria.
