Vilna Ghetto Diary
Book •
The Vilna Ghetto Diary is the manuscript diary of teenager Yitzhak Rudoszewski, which provides a firsthand account of daily life, fear, and small acts of resistance in the Vilna Ghetto.
The primary manuscript is preserved at YIVO, and later editions have made the diary accessible with scholarly introductions and translations.
The diary contributes intimate evidence of the lived experience of Jewish youth under Nazi occupation and serves as a historical and literary source for scholars of Holocaust memoir and ghetto literature.
Its publication and translation help integrate personal testimony into broader narratives of wartime Lithuania and Jewish cultural loss.
