Overview
In October 1941, Lipman Kunstadt was deported with his family to the Dzhurin ghetto in Transnistria, and was appointed secretary of the Jewish council. He began writing his diary in April 1942, sparing no criticism against the ghetto leadership and the social scourges in the ghetto. Along with harsh descriptions of the deportations, the diseases, and the deaths, the diary also abounds with Kunstadt’s profound questions regarding God and justice, as well as poetic depictions of nature.
