The Rudashevski Diary

Jewish Quarterly 258

Yitskhok Rudashevski,

About this book

Yitskhok Rudashevski was taken to the Vilna Ghetto at age 13 and murdered at age 15. This is his diary, discovered in his final hiding place.

'Today I turned fifteen and live very much for tomorrow. I do not feel two ways about it. I see before me sun and sun and sun... '

Yitskhok Rudashevski was transferred to the Vilna Ghetto when he was thirteen. For nearly two years he used a small notebook to chronicle his hope, his despair and his experience of daily ghetto life. His diary was later discovered in an attic that was the final hiding place for him and his parents.

This remarkable translation from Yiddish by Solon Beinfeld reveals a teenager whose love of culture, history and knowledge defied the cruelty that surrounded him. Displaying empathy and intellect far beyond his years, Yitskhok confronts the terrible moral choices required for survival in the ghetto.

His diary, expertly introduced by Professor Samuel D. Kassow, is both a crucial historical document and a deeply poignant portrait of one lost soul among millions.
