תקציר
Memoirs of a Jew, based on a diary which he wrote between 1939-43. Turkow, a Yiddish theater director, describes the German occupation of Warsaw in 1939 and discusses activities of the Judenrat and Adam Czerniakow, the Jewish police, forced labor, Jewish self-help organizations, and especially cultural life in the ghetto, as well as roundups and deportations. Turkow helped his friend Emanuel Ringelblum carry out some of his social projects in the ghetto. In August 1942 Turkow had his young daughter smuggled over to the "Aryan side"
in March 1943 his wife Diany Blumenfeld, a singer, escaped and joined her there. Turkow meanwhile joined a resistance group, focused on obtaining weapons, and participated in the ghetto uprisings. The memoirs end just before the uprising, after which he was deported
but he escaped and returned to live on the "Aryan side" until the liberation. (From the Bibliography of the Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of Antisemitism)
