In the Beginning Was the Ghetto: A Journal of 890 Days in the Lodz Ghetto Book

This is in many ways similar to Korczak's Ghetto Diary; though the latter is much shorter and less detailed, both provide a haunting and vivid picture of life and death in their authors' respective ghettos. As for Rosenfeld's notebooks, never before have I been so enlightened as to what the Lodz ghetto was really like. Like Korczak, Rosenfeld was an established writer before the war with plenty of sterling talent, put to good use here. It's a shame that he died before he could turn his notes into a proper novel or history of the ghetto.
