journaux-clandestinsIn 1943, Yitzhak Katzenelson kept his diary at the Vittel camp in France; Leïb Rochman wrote his diary while hidden behind a double partition on the farm of a Polish peasant, then in a pit dug in a barn – two documents of rare intensity written, one in Hebrew, the other in Yiddish. Moshé Flinker was 16 years old in 1942 when he started to write his diary in Brussels in Hebrew. Three years later, he died in Bergen-Belsen.
