Review # 1 was written on 2020-01-03 00:00:00 Cale Armstrong A Searing Account of Life in the Warsaw Ghetto None of the Holocaust diaries make for easy reading. Of these painful eyewitness accounts, perhaps none is more searing than that of Chaim Aaron Kaplan, the one-time principal of a Hebrew school in Warsaw until his academy was shut down and banned by the Nazis and Kaplan banished to that city’s notorious Ghetto. Appalled at “the destruction and ruin that the enemy’s planes have wrought on our lovely capital,” Chaim Kaplan declared early on, “I have made a role for myself in these historic times not to let a single day go by without making an entry in my diary,” that is, to bear witness and document first-hand the suffering of his fellow Jews and the abominable cruelty if the Nazi oppressor, even when “…it is hard to hold a pen in my hand.” Despite indescribable hardships, he added accounts to his dairy nearly every day, continually augmenting his “scroll of agony.” Chaim Kaplan portrayed daily scenes with uncompromising clarity, using suitably strong language that does not detract from the erudition and eloquence of his writing. Kaplan obviously kept well informed of what was happening, either by reading illegal underground newspapers or “reading between the lines” of the articles printed in the Nazi-sanctioned press that served primarily as a tool of propaganda. That Chaim Kaplan was able to maintain such a high standard of writing in utterly appalling conditions is remarkable, all the more so as he did not have the chance to edit or revise his work. “My words are not rewritten; momentary reflexes shape them. Perhaps their value lies in this,” he write on January 16, 1942. Chaim Kaplan wrote alone, keeping his diary secret; though he was a somewhat of a loner, he had many informants. However, it was his dairy that offered Kaplan hope for the future and comfort for the immediate times he need it most. “This journal is my life, my friend, and ally,” he wrote on November 13, 1941. “I pour my innermost thoughts and feelings into it, and this brings me relief. When my nerves are taught and my blood is boiling, than I am full of bitterness. In my helplessness, I drag myself to my diary and at once I am enveloped by a wave of creative inspiration, although I doubt whether the recording that occupies me deserves to be called creative .… The important thing is that in keeping this diary, I find spiritual rest. That is enough for me.” Anyone reading this book would say that Kaplan was being modest; the writing is of very high quality, indeed. Kaplan chronicled the occupation of Warsaw, from the earliest days after the invasion though August 1942, during the time of the great liquidations. Chaim Kaplan knew that his chances of survival were slim. However, he often expressed an optimism that “Hitlerian Nazism will ultimately be defeated, for in the end, the civilized nations will rise up to defend the liberty which the German barbarians seek to steal from mankind.” And, in our good fortune, Chaim Kaplan’s masterful diary, too, would survive to tell all about it.
