The Diary of Dawid Rubinowicz: In 1957, a local historian, Artemiusz Wołczyk and his wife Helen discovered five faded copy-books, a diary that 12 year old Dawid Rubinowicz began writing 21 March 1940. This film provides an introduction to the Diary of Dawid Rubinowicz.

Introductory note: At the time of the Second World War there were about 1,000 Jews in Bodzentyn, Poland. Only a few of them escaped the ghetto’s liquidation in 1942. Writing down his thoughts and observations in short and direct notes in his school book, 12 year old Dawid Rubinowicz gives an insight of the fears for the Jews during the Nazi occupation of the little town. At www.bodzentyn.net you will find quotes from the diary and a brief introduction, along with testimonies of those who survived, as well as photos and other documentation.
