Recenzii
“This diverse and enlightening collection of excerpts from journals kept during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands is an essential contribution to the history of WWII. Drawing from an archive of more than 2,100 wartime diaries . . . [Siegal] contextualizes her primary sources with exhaustive research and analysis of contemporaneous records. . . . [A] vivid portrait of the Nazi occupation as it unfolded, providing a wider lens than many Holocaust histories. . . . [A] treasure trove of firsthand perspectives.” — Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“A beautiful, poignant book about the darkest period in modern Dutch history...This book gives a powerful voice to forgotten witnesses.” — David de Jong, author of Nazi Billionaires
“Nina Siegal has accomplished a remarkable feat. She has given us a day-by-day narrative of the Holocaust in the Netherlands by splicing together excerpts from a few of the hundreds of diaries stored in an Amsterdam archive...With thoughtful and insightful observations of her own, Siegal helps us understand how 75 percent of the 140,000 Jews of Holland, a prosperous and cultivated Western European country, could have been murdered, posing a warning for our own deeply fractured country.” — Joseph Berger, author of Elie Wiesel: Confronting the Silence
“The Diary Keepers is an astonishing, essential book that asks us to bear witness to an unbearable history, even as it invites us to think hard about what history is—how it gets written, and what stories it tells. This book is powerfully moving and necessarily terrifying. By way of rigorous research and intimate storytelling, Nina Siegal brings us close to her diary keepers—making it impossible to turn away from the difficult, necessary questions their lives raise about survival, suffering, complicity, and memory.” — Leslie Jamison, author of The Empathy Exams
“Like an archaeologist excavating an ancient temple, Nina Siegal has dug up hundreds of stories of life under the unprecedented horror of Nazism, revealing the changing thoughts and shifting moods of heroes, villains, and victims. Until now, we only had a black-and-white image of these lives. Now, thanks to Siegal, we see them in living color.” — Benjamin Moser, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Sontag
“This moving and masterful book tells the history of those fateful war years, and their aftermath, in a wonderfully intimate way.” — Margot Livesey, author of The Boy in the Field
“A work of orchestral power, moving among voices. I was riveted.” — Patricia Hampl, author of The Art of a Wasted Day
