A
A young Jewish girl begins a diary just as World War Ⅱ is about to break out in Europe. She records the details of her daily life, but more than that. Eventually, the diary comes to a heartbreaking end with the girl shot to death by the Nazis. However, it's not the story of Anne Frank.
This is Renia'sDiary, a journal that was hidden for years in a safe box. Now it's coming to light with the help of Renia's sister and niece.
For a long time, Elizabeth didn't even know that her older sister Renia had kept a diary as a teenager in Poland. Then suddenly one day Elizabeth got the diary and started to read it. She was totally stunned and couldn't get very far. “It was too painful to read it，” Elizabeth recalls. “I just put it in the basement and didn't think about it.”
Alexandra, Elizabeth's daughter, grew up knowing about the locked diary. As Alexandra got older, she was more interested in it. “If I could read this diary, maybe I'll explore some things from the past，” she thought.
She got the diary from its hiding place. When she read it, Alexandra was shocked. “It's the description of a wonderful girl who showed great courage in terrible times. My aunt's world comes to life as the diary shifts between a teenage girl's daily life and the war.”
Elizabeth and her daughter Alexandra are excited that the diary will be published. “It is a story that needs to be heard now more than ever. We should never repeat the same types of racism (种族主义) and hate that lead to violence，” Alexandra says.
