Cover
Holocaust Library, 1992 - 226 Seiten
This diary was written by Diment (b. 1915) on scraps of paper, between 22 June 1941 (when the Germans occupied his hometown of Svyniukhy, Ukraine) and 16 April 1944. They relate the terror - murder, looting of property - during the early occupation on the part of Nazis and local Ukrainians, internment in the ghetto in nearby Lukacze (Lokachi), and life in the ghetto until the mass murder of its inhabitants (ca. 1,100) in September 1942. 700 Jews managed to escape from the ghetto before the slaughter; only six survived. Diment describes his life in hiding in nearby forests and in local peasants' barns from September 1942 to his liberation in April 1944. His diary notes were hidden by two of the peasants who helped him. After the war, he emigrated to Israel.
