Winner of the National Jewish Book Award: viewing the Holocaust through the eyes of youth

“Zapruder . . . has done a great service to history and the future. Her book deserves to become a standard in Holocaust studies classes. . . . These writings will certainly impress themselves on the memories of all readers.”—Publishers Weekly

“These extraordinary diaries will resonate in the reader’s broken heart for many days and many nights.”—Elie Wiesel

This stirring collection of diaries written by young people, aged twelve to twenty-two years, during the Holocaust has been fully revised and updated. Some of the writers were refugees, others were in hiding or passing as non-Jews, some were imprisoned in ghettos, and nearly all perished before liberation. This seminal National Jewish Book Award winner preserves the impressions, emotions, and eyewitness reportage of young people whose accounts of daily events and often unexpected thoughts, ideas, and feelings serve to deepen and complicate our understanding of life during the Holocaust.

The second paperback edition includes a new preface by Alexandra Zapruder examining the book’s history and impact. Simultaneously, a multimedia edition incorporates a wealth of new content in a variety of media, including photographs of the writers and their families, images of the original diaries, artwork made by the writers, historical documents, glossary terms, maps, survivor testimony (some available for the first time), and video of the author teaching key passages. In addition, an in-depth, interdisciplinary curriculum in history, literature, and writing developed by the author and a team of teachers, working in cooperation with the educational organization Facing History and Ourselves, is now available to support use of the book in middle- and high-school classrooms.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Zapruder . . . has done a great service to history and the future. Her book deserves to become a standard in Holocaust studies classes. . . . These writings will certainly impress themselves on the memories of all readers."—Publishers Weekly

"In the best of scenarios, when a book is reissued in a second edition, it’s because so much new scholarship has been created around the topic that the first set of pages just cry out for expansion and even reinvention. This is certainly the case with Salvaged Pages, [in this] readable, informative, and enlightening edition."—Jewish Book Council

"These extraordinary diaries will resonate in the reader’s broken heart for many days and many nights."—Elie Wiesel

"Salvaged Pages offers important perspectives for today’s Holocaust education students. The voices of young adults during the Holocaust resonate in a way that can’t be replicated by other resources."—Jennifer L. Goss, Robert E. Lee High School

"Salvaged Pages shares the despair, frustrations, hopes, and loves of young adults who struggle mightily with the impact of the hatred and indifference of their neighbors. My students are enthralled."—Lynne Ravas, Lower Dauphin Middle School

"Salvaged Pages is a window into the private world of young diarists existing under Nazi occupation. Readers cannot help but respond to the humanity of writers in a world whose deprivations we can only begin to comprehend through their own words."—Elaine Culbertson, Director, Holocaust and Jewish Resistance Teachers’ Program

"A searing collection of Jewish youngsters’ private Holocaust diaries, Salvaged Pages shines a bright light on their daily lives and their inner lives. Zapruder offers us the opportunity follow these child and adolescent writers as they endured and responded to an ever harsher Nazi regime. Salvaged Pages gives us a glimpse, too, of the unfulfilled potential lost with the murder of a generation. A key text for teachers and students alike, Salvaged Pages enriches our understanding of how life was lived and lives were destroyed, day by day, year after year."—Debórah Dwork, Director, Strassler Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies, Clark University

Wonderful resource for teachers

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 16, 2015

Verified Purchase

Alexandra Zapruder did an excellent job of updating Salvaged Pages. It is a compilation of diaries of children who lived during the Holocaust. Now grown up or having perished, Alexandra has drawn from many diaries the ones she felt told their stories the best. She explains the research she did for this book and the first edition. She also talks about the impact her book made on teachers who teach the Holocaust. This book is to be accompanied by online help and lessons. She completed additional research on a few of the survivors and added to their stories.

The book is an excellent resource for teachers. You can use the entire book as a text or make selections from it to show how different the children were and how their different experiences help make up a clearer picture of the Holocaust. It is well written and Alexandra offers her help to teachers in their classrooms or in professional meetings.

Excellent book - one of the best collections of diaries.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 6, 2017

Verified Purchase

Excellent book. Very well written, and Ms. Zapruder is a very kind woman. She has put extensive time into these, and each diary entry by each young one will rip at your heart strings. If you found diaries such as Anne Frank's interesting, then you will also find the same - if not more - intrigue in this book. Well worth the price - you will get to see the day-to-day life of young ones in a world where the only crime they committed was being born Jewish.

A fascinating read!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 20, 2018

A fascinating read!

This is a well researched, very informative and beautiful but harrowing collection of diaries written by young people during the Holocaust. The author done a brilliant job in connecting the subject and writers by their circumstances and situation, what their diaries convey and how it relates to other testimonies. We come to understand that Anne Frank wasn’t the only voice who speaks in terms of the holocaust, but from these accounts we enter the worlds of writers who become refugees in their native countries, have to flee to neutral ground, young people who, with their families and loved ones, are forced into ghettos/ concentration camps and succumb to starvation and disease. Some writers even die and their diaries miraculously survive them, others document their lives up to liberation and provide a realistic depiction of what it was like to overcome so much suffering and watch their families get murdered by the Nazis.

If you have an interest in history, non fiction or want to have a broader understanding of the holocaust, or even writings written by teenagers, this is the book for you. It offers a rich insight surrounding the era of world war 2.
This isn’t another Anne Frank book, written retrospectively and in the safety and security of family and helpers providing sanctuary, etc. but diaries written by teenagers hoping to survive the very moment and psychologically trying to understand the horrors in which they find themselves.
I found reading this book very powerful, and though it’s purpose isn’t to somehow bring the writers back to life, I found myself in their place, visualizing their torment and anxieties, being intimately close as they live the next entry and don’t know when their end will come. It’s important when reading books like this to have firm perspective; this isn’t perfected literature, but true to life’s documentations of ones fight for survival.

The new, multimedia edition to Salvaged Pages offers an even closer glimpse of the writers endurance. We get to see maps where the writers were situated throughout the war and their travels, war time photographs of the diarist and their families and friends, photographic evidence of the handwritten journals, and even videos of the authors telling their stories in present day. The author of this book also shows recorded videos reading an entry of each diarist and offering more biographical information, as well as giving her own philosophical understanding from the diaries being read, and her interpretation of those works.
This is a remarkable book and I’m sure one that will be taught for many decades to come, offering students as well as teachers a better understanding of world war 2’s history and the holocaust especially. It’s also recommended for students interested in creative writing and scholars wanting to study Writing.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 2, 2015

This is, simply put, one of the most significant books about the Holocaust ever published, perhaps because it is less about the Holocaust, and more about life and the young people who lived during that time. Now in its second edition, this powerful text continues to give voice to children whom without it we may never have known. As a teacher, my students have found this book compelling, gripping, and personal. As a scholar, I find it a valuable resource. As a human, I find it a companion, a window into the past, into lives not unlike my own save for the dire circumstances in which they were lived out. And as a father, I find it a strong reminder of both how precious and how delicate young lives truly are. Personal, intimate, uniquely individualized, these are the voices we were never meant to hear, and they remind us, one after another, of the significance of fighting hatred and intolerance in our world, so that the pages of our children might not require being salvaged.
