- Summary:
- "While incarcerated in the Lwów Ghetto, Redner worked as a gardner and trader before being employed as a Jewish policeman [...] This is Redner's own adaptation of his diary. It was written just two years after the war ended. The diary was written while the author's memories were still fresh, making it a rare first-hand, powerful account of life in the Lwów Ghetto"--Back cover.
