The Journal of Helene Berr

Helene Berr died in the Holocaust but from April 1942 to February 1944 she kept a journal of her life in Nazi-occupied France. On her twenty-third birthday she and her parents were taken to Auschwitz where her parents died within six months. Helene was forced to march to Bergen-Belsen where she died in April 1945, just days before British troops arrived to liberate the camp.
