A translation and edition of Hersh Wasser’s diary notes, originally written in Yiddish, which were preserved in the Oneg Shabbat archives of the Warsaw ghetto. The entries commence in December 1940 and continue until the end of May 1942. His writings describe life in the ghetto: the Nazi Germans' persecutions, the terror, the slave labor camps, the deportations, the epidemics, etc. Wasser praised Jewish inventiveness and adaptability, the continuation of cultural events despite the harsh ghetto conditions, and the underground’s efforts at resistance. He survived the Holocaust and, together with his wife, immigrated to Israel in 1950, where he died in 1981.
