You might imagine that life for a Jewish teenager in Poland during World War II, under Soviet Communist and Nazi German rule, would be gloomy. And you’d be right, mostly.
But the long-hidden holocaust diary of Renia Springer—to be published in English by St. Martin’s Press in 2019, and excerpted by the Smithsonian—reveals that, even as the world burns around her, a teenage girl remains concerned with boys and school and muses about whether it’s better to be famous or happy.
The night of shattered glass
Eighty years ago today—on the night of November 9, 1938—violent anti-Jewish demonstrations broke out across Germany, Austria, and then Czechoslovakia after a 17-year old Polish Jew shot a German foreign official over the deportation of his family. For 48 hours, violent mobs destroyed hundreds of synagogues, Jewish businesses, schools, and homes, murdered 91 Jews, and rounded up 30,000 men to be sent to concentration camps. Nazi officials called the events Kristallnacht, meaning “Crystal Night” or “The Night of Broken Glass.”
