Rutka Laskier, a 14-year-old Jewish girl in the town of Bedzin in Poland, died in Auschwitz in 1943. But she left behind a notebook in which she recorded her thoughts, fears and dreams. Some are the musings of any adolescent girl; others are the despairing cries of an individual caught in history's vortex. Now, after 60 years in the keeping of a friend, that notebook has been recovered - and it opens a unique, moving window into the everyday life of Polish Jews caught in the throes of Adolf Hitler's Final Solution. Hailed as the "Polish Anne Frank," Rutka Laskier now speaks to us across the decades: a witness to evil, a voice for the silent, and a timeless symbol of resolve. The editors of "TIME" add annotations, photos, maps, and quotations that help bring this tragic era into compelling focus for today's readers.

Rutka Laskier barely lived to her teenage years. Before disappearing into the deadly smoke of Auschwitz in 1943, she left behind a notebook. Recovered after 60 years, the notebook opens a unique and moving window into the everyday life of Polish Jews caught in the throes of Hitler's Final Solution. Her mature reflections and youthful hope have reminded many readers of another young journal keeper: Anne Frank. Description in Spanish: ''Un conmovedor testimonio real de una nina de 14 anos en un gueto judio durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. La doctora Zahava Scherz descubrio una fotografia de una adolescente muy parecida a ella; movida por la curiosidad, investigo quien era aquella muchacha y descubrio que se trataba de Rutka Laskier, una hija del primer matrimonio de su padre, asesinada en el Holocausto. Despues de veintiocho anos, Zahava Scherz visito Bedzin, Polonia, donde habia vivido Rutka. De esta manera, se encontro el diario que Rutka escribio entre febrero y abril de de 1943, a sus catorce anos de edad, en el gueto judio de Bedzin, bajo la ocupacion militar nazi. El cuaderno estuvo escondido bajo la escalera de Stanislava Sapinka, la mejor amiga de Rutka, quien lo conservo durante mas de sesenta anos. El documento es real y ha sido validado historicamente. Actualmente, el manuscrito original se encuentra en el Museo del Holocausto en Yad Vashen, Jerusalen.''
