* This work is the only extant diary of a Holocaust resistance fighter to be written from inside the Nazi camps. This lends the title unique historical significance * A growing audience exists not only for narratives of Holocaust survivorship, but for true testimonies of resistance to Nazi rule; for example, the film "The Counterfeiters," received the Academy Award in 2008 for best foreign language film * Amira Hass, Hanna Levy-Hass' daughter, is a world-renowned journalist in the Middle East, widely recognized for her regular columns in the daily Israeli newspaper Ha'aretz, where she has truthfully documented the injustices of Israeli occupation. Her introduction frames the meaning of her mother's diary for a contemporary readership concerned with the relation between the Holocaust and the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
