Summary
The Diary of Mary Berg is a firsthand account of life in the Warsaw Ghetto during World War II. Written by a teenage girl between 1939 and 1944, the diary documents the deteriorating conditions, starvation, disease, and deportations experienced by Jewish residents under Nazi occupation. Berg's American citizenship eventually allowed her family to leave the ghetto through a prisoner exchange. Her diary, smuggled out and published in 1945, provides one of the earliest and most detailed eyewitness testimonies of the Holocaust, offering a young person's perspective on this tragic period in history.
