| תקציר/הערה |
Examines the diary and memoirs of Rabbi Yehoshua Moshe Aronzon (written in Yiddish) from Sanniki, Poland. The diary, which Aronzon called "The Scroll of the Konin House of Bondage", and published in Hebrew as "Alei merorim" (1996), is supplemented by two essays, all written during his internment in the Konin labor camp in 1942-43 his memoirs were compiled in 1946 in a DP camp. The texts of the diary and of the memoirs correspond fully in matters concerning day-to-day life in the camp and Nazi atrocities the memoir adds much on the Jewish camp leaders, Jewish responses to the atrocities, Jewish faith in the camp, and some personal stories. Only the memoirs describe the attempts of resistance, suicides in the camp, and some details of the communication of information on Chełmno in Sanniki. Contends that the differences in the texts must be attributed not to the author's wish to embellish his experiences, but to the conditions of writing in the camp and also to the different conceptions of writing historical narrative during the war and after it. Contends that memoir literature should receive a loftier place than that given it thus far in the historiography of the Holocaust.

On Yehoshua Moshe Aharonson's Yiddish diary, published in Hebrew as "עלי מרורות". |
