    The Secret Diary Of The Holocaust tells the extraordinary tale of a 14-year-old Polish girl, Rutka Laskier, who was murdered at Auschwitz in 1943.
    In 2005, the school notebook in which Rutka recorded her last months in the ghetto of Bedzin was made public, six decades after she hid it under the floorboards of her home there. Rutka was immediately dubbed the 'Polish Anne Frank'.
    In her diary, Rutka wrote about her life in the ghetto in 1943, detailing not just the Nazi atrocities, physical hardship and hunger, but also how she was developing as a young woman. She also tells how she made a daring escape from one of the early 'aktions', Nazi round-ups of Jews for transportation.
    The documentary will unravel Rutka's story through the eyes of her half-sister, Israeli academic Zahava Scherz, on a journey to Poland in search of the sister she never knew.
    Welcome to Reel Truth History, the home of gripping and powerful documentaries. Here you can watch both full length documentaries and series that explore some of the most comprehensive pieces of world history.

    What I found to be heartbreaking. Imagine being a 14 year old girl (or boy). You're not sick with cancer or any other deadly illness or sickness. Yet you know, you are going to die. She wrote that before hiding her diary. I can't imagine being 14 and knowing, not thinking, but knowing, I was going to die.

    "If only I could say, it's over, you die only once. But I can't, because despite all these atrocities, I want to live, and wait for the following day." ~Rut "Rutka" Laskier (12 June 1929 - 5 August 1943)
    My heart breaks for you, sweet child. I'm so sorry. RIP

What would she have done with her life??? What would her future generations??? So much taken by hate!!! I am so glad she named her daughter after her sister to keep her memory alive.

    I am grateful for the account of another diary of a young girl. It never ceases to amaze me how much more educated children were than they are today. I would love to read this young girls account. Unfortunately in this documentary the music being played while she is speaking in her native language and then translated into English all at the same time is disturbing. Her thoughts, and feelings, as well as her story has been drowned out by all of the background noise. If the music had been toned down or just silent during the reading would have made this far better. This diary about her life is just as important today along with Anne Frank's. As we are living in a time when all of our freedoms may disappear.

    Thank you for sharing this sad but inspiring story. Rutka left behind a very important account of herself and her life experience at a time when young people were witness to terrible things and had hope for nothing but to live through the day and see another tomorrow. That her father survived Auschwiz and went on to remarry and bring more life into the world is a true miracle. For Rutka's diary to have been kept, lovingly protected, and then shared with future generations is so important. The most touching aspect of this documentary is that the sister Rutka never knew, and who would never have a chance to meet her, has had the opportunity to acquaint herself with Rutka and the homeland in which she grew up. Rutka hid her diary to keep it safe but always wanted it to be found. She wanted people to know her story. Yet she would never have dreamed that her words would eventually find their way home to family again... to be read by a sister who would have the life that she herself would never get to live.

    So get out your machine and redo this. I look forward to seeing a new copy and I believe more people will want to watch it once they can hear the story. Like I said it's a very important story and it needs to be told over and over again, but it's hard to retell a story when you can't hear it. Sometimes the words are so low it's unintelligible.

    This is a very remarkable, sad and powerful story and the best testimony about a young Polish girl, whose only 'crime' was having been born Jewish. The saddest part of it is the state of people's mind, who get worked up about too loud background music, failing to engage with the message of this story. The words that matter are always uttered quietly amid background noise. Learning to listen and to hear is an important and valuable skill.

    I persevered through the video because my great-grandfather was a rabbi from Warsaw who came to the US prior to the war and none of his relatives survived. Unfortunately, music overplaying the speaker and the translator made it impossible to hear some passages and immensely detracted from the story. It would be nice if the sound was re-engineered so that all the English words were audible. I find it amazing how astute this child was at 13, much more so than I was at that age and how she and the other children were able to face the negative changes in their world with such strength. What a wonderful legacy for her half-sister and family.

      As I get older, I realize that many factors impact hearing. Younger people think it just means everything is softer or quiet.

      Thank you for the compliments, but I am infatuated with children and women, who were victims and live to tell the their story. I want to put this i writing; I love you and admire you. I am a WW11 veteran's daughter with my dad and papa.
