Wikipedia description:

Rywka Lipszyc (pronounced as Rivka Lipshitz; 15 September 1929 – disappeared 10 September 1945) was a Polish-born Jewish diarist and Holocaust survivor. She was deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp, followed by a transfer to Gross-Rosen and forced labor at its subcamp in Christianstadt (Krzystkowice). She was then taken on a death march to Bergen-Belsen, where the record of her life ends. Her diary, composed of 112 pages, was written in Polish between 3 October 1943 and 12 April 1944. Translated to English by Malgorzata Markoff and annotated by Ewa Wiatr, it was published for the first time in the United States in early 2014, some 70 years after it was written.
