This is the personal diary of Renia Spiegel. She was living on the border of Romania and Poland during the war years. This diary outlines parts of her life that any other person her age would mention, and then things about the Nazis taking over and being cut off from her family in the city. I always feel worse for the children and teens that had to live through the war and the Holocaust, because they are just children. This was a moving book, and I would suggest it for those who enjoyed reading Anne Frank's diary.
