Rivka’s Diary

Introduction:
In this booklet we bring an amazing story of a Holocaust-period diary that was discovered only in 2009, 67 years after it was written.
This is the diary of Rivka Lifshitz, a 14-year-old Jewish girl who lost both her parents and two younger brothers in the horrors of the Holocaust.
Despite all the horrors she experienced, Rivka tried to remain optimistic and not let the enemy subdue her spirit.
Rivka wrote in her diary:
“I’m a Jew, I’m poor in the ghetto, I do not know what will happen to me tomorrow, and yet I laugh at the whole world, because I have something very big to lean on – faith.”
