The long-hidden diary of a young Polish woman's life during the Holocaust, translated for the first time into English

The publication of Renia's Diary offers a reminder of the power of bearing witness. --The New York Times

Renia Spiegel was born in 1924 to an upper-middle class Jewish family living in southeastern Poland, near what was at that time the border with Romania. At the start of 1939 Renia began a diary. "I just want a friend. I want somebody to talk to about my everyday worries and joys. Somebody who would feel what I feel, who would believe me, who would never reveal my secrets. A human being can never be such a friend and that's why I have decided to look for a confidant in the form of a diary." And so begins an extraordinary document of an adolescent girl's hopes and dreams. By the fall of 1939, Renia and her younger sister Elizabeth (n e Ariana) were staying with their grandparents in Przemysl, a city in the south, just as the German and Soviet armies invaded Poland. Cut off from their mother, who was in Warsaw, Renia and her family were plunged into war.

Like Anne Frank, Renia's diary became a record of her daily life as the Nazis spread throughout Europe. Renia writes of her mundane school life, her daily drama with best friends, falling in love with her boyfriend Zygmund, as well as the agony of missing her mother, separated by bombs and invading armies. Renia had aspirations to be a writer, and the diary is filled with her poignant and thoughtful poetry. When she was forced into the city's ghetto with the other Jews, Zygmund is able to smuggle her out to hide with his parents, taking Renia out of the ghetto, but not, ultimately to safety. The diary ends in July 1942, completed by Zygmund, after Renia is murdered by the Gestapo.

Renia's Diary has been translated from the original Polish, and includes a preface, afterword, and notes by her surviving sister, Elizabeth Bellak. An extraordinary historical document, Renia Spiegel survives through the beauty of her words and the efforts of those who loved her and preserved her legacy.

Water Comes Out Clean and Tastes Good!
Style: Standard, Size: 2 Count
I had a Brita filter while I was in college, and so naturally, I needed to buy the water filter replacements on occasion. These are the original ones from Brita, and they work as well as you would expect! They purify the water you pour into the pitcher, and it tastes good (at least in my opinion)! They feel pretty well made, and I haven't had any issues where the water has come out tasting gross or it getting clogged. It works well, and fits nicely into my pitcher. I've heard others face issues with third-party water filters, so it feels nice to buy the original ones and for them to work without issue.

Very good quality Nitrile gloves useful for sanitary and even mild work around the house protection
Size: Large (Pack of 100)
I've been using these gloves for years and have been very pleased with them. They fit very well, are thick enough to provide adequate protection, but thin enough to provide a good feel and ability to do tasks requiring finger dexterity. They are a blueish purple and come in sizes to fit most any hand. They do not have talc, so if you have sweaty hands, these are liable to be an issue if worn for extended periods. I use them as a caretaker for personal hygiene activities, bed baths, etc. They have never ripped and in some cases, I 've reused them with no issues. The are definitely good value for money.

Great for refinishing work
Size: Large (Pack of 100)
Good quality gloves and the size (large) fits great. Easy to put on and to remove. I use these for applying wood stains and polyurethane. They're thick enough to provide the appropriate protection yet allow for a minimal loss of dexterity so I can get into small crevices when doing highly detailed surfaces. These are durable enough to be reused. Been using these for the past few years and will continue with them. It ain't broke.
