During World War II, some 15,000 Jewish children passed through the gates of Terezin concentration camp in Czechoslovakia; of those, about 100 survived to the end of the war. One of them was Helga Weiss, from Prague. When she was deported to Auschwitz in 1944, she entrusted the diary to her uncle, an office worker in Terezin, who managed to hide it with other documents behind a brick wall. Can be purchased from Amazon.
