Wozu noch Welt : Aufzeichnungen aus dem Getto Lodz

Rosenfeld, a Viennese writer active in Jewish cultural life and editor of the Zionist Revisionist weekly "Die Neue Welt", was deported in November 1941 from Prague to the Łódź ghetto. He worked in the ghetto archive and on the ghetto's daily chronicle. His notebooks, reproduced here (now in Yad Vashem), contain vignettes of ghetto life as well as brief recordings of events, population and death statistics, and food prices. Rosenfeld was deported to Auschwitz in August 1944 and immediately gassed. The editor's introduction (pp. 7-29) includes a biography of Rosenfeld and a history of the ghetto. Includes bibliographical references. 323 pages : illustrations ; 21 cm.
