An imprisoned bookbinder wrote these words in a small blank book that he had secretly crafted from pilfered materials at the Terezn (Theresienstadt) concentration camp in September 1944. He presented the album to a fellow prisoner  twenty-one-year-old Marianka Zadikw. Over the next several months  as the Nazis pressed forward with mass deportations from Terezn to Auschwitz  Marianka began to collect inscriptions and sketches from her fellow inmates.  Marianka Zadikwsalbum  presented here in a facsimile edition  is a poignant document from the last months of the Holocaust. The words and images inscribed hereby children and grandparents  factory workers and farmhands  professionals and intellectuals  musicians and artistsreflect both joy and trepidation. They include passages of remembered verse  lovingly executed drawings  and hurried farewells on the eve of transport to Auschwitz. The great German-Jewish scholar Rabbi Leo Baeck  one of the elders of the camp  offers Marianka an inscription about Jewish self-discovery  and participants in Terezns now-famous musical performances fill several pages with musical annotation.  Facing-page translations render the books multitude of languages into English  while historical and biographical notes give details  where known  of the fates of those whose words are recorded here. An introduction by acclaimed Holocaust scholar Debrah Dwork tells the story of the Terezn camp and how Marianka and her family fared while imprisoned there.  The array of voices and the glimpses into individual lives afforded us by The Terezn Album make it an arresting reminder of the sustaining power of care  community  and hope amid darkness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44959955812405,"sku":"ByrdShop_0226511863","price":28.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780226511863.jpg?v=1770380739","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-terezn-album-of-marinka-zadikow","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
