The diaries of a Jew in Nazi Germany; the most important document to emerge from the period since the publication of The Diary Of Anne Frank. This volume, covers the period from Hitler’s election to the beginning of the holocaust. The publication of Victor Klemperer’s secret diaries brings to light one of the most extraordinary documents of the Nazi period. “In its cool, lucid style and power of observation,” said The New York Times, “it is the best written, most evocative, most observant record of daily life in the Third Reich.” I Will Bear Witness is a work of literature as well as a revelation of the day-by-day horror of the Nazi years.
