Rutka's Notebook

RUTKA'S Notebook: A Voice from the Holocaust Thursday, May 1, 7 P.M. The only living relative of the "Polish Anne Frank," Zahava Scherz commemorates her half-sister, Rutka Laskier, and the release of Rutka's lost diary, RUTKA'S Notebook: A Voice from the Holocaust.

For three months in 1943, 14-year-old Rutka Laskier recorded her life in the Polish
town of Bedzin, where she and her family were forced to live in a Jewish ghetto. Her
journal, found two years after Rutka and her family were deported to Auschwitz, is
now available for the first time ever to readers in the United States through a
collaboration between TIME Books and Yad Vashem, Israel-s Holocaust memorial center.
RUTKA-S NOTEBOOK also includes two essays by Zahava, recalling how she found out
about Rutka.

Zahava Scherz will be speaking and signing copies of RUTKA'S NOTEBOOK.
