Notă biografică

PHILLIP MANES (1875-1944) was a wealthy Berlin furrier before he and his wife were stripped of their possessions and transported to Theresienstadt in 1942. There, Manes kept careful diaries of daily life until he and his wife were transported to Auschwitz, where they were killed in October of 1944.

Caracteristici

This account is different from all other Holocaust accounts because it is diary, not a memoir, written as things were happening, not with the benefit of hindsight, and it takes place in a ghetto, not a concentration camp. Specifically, this was written in the only showpiece ghetto of the Third Reich, and as such, provides invaluable insight
Manes' account has a wonderful intimacy and is filled with careful and fascinating details of everyday life in the ghetto, and delivers an accurate portrait of the ghetto, its inmates and practices. Manes' optimism is all the more heartbreaking because of his ultimate fate at Auschwitz
