Renia Spiegel begins her diary in 1939 while living with her grandparents in Przemyśl, separated from her mother as German and Soviet forces invade Poland. She records school, friendship, poetry, and first love alongside bombing, occupation, persecution, and confinement in the city's ghetto. Her surviving sister provides additional context for a diary that ends in 1942, when Renia is murdered by the Gestapo.
