The Secret Diary of the Holocaust tells the story of Rutka Laskier, a 14-year-old girl who kept a journal while in Bedzin, a ghetto located 130 miles south of Łódź. Until her deportation to Auschwitz in 1943, she recorded not just the Nazi atrocities, physical hardship, and hunger she experienced, but also her daily life as a teenager.

This event will feature a screening of the film, followed by a discussion with Zahava Scherz, Rutka’s half-sister.
