Renia Spiegel une nouvelle Anne Frank

Plusieurs d'entre vous connaissez probablement le Journal d'Anne Frank, journal intime rédigé pendant deux ans (1942-1944) alors qu'elle se cache des Nazis. Son père, seul survivant de la famille, acceptera de le diffuser. Une histoire similaire arrive cette année à son terme puisque soixante-dix ans après sa rédaction le journal intime de Renia Spiegel est publié. Pendant des années sa mère et sa soeur n'ont pu se résigner à en faire la lecture et le texte est demeuré secret. On peut deviner la charge émotive qui accompagne la lecture des confidences et des poèmes de la jeune polonaise. 

"Schwarzer shared it with someone else for safekeeping before he was deported to Auschwitz. He survived, moved to the US and in 1950 managed to return the diary to Renia's sister Elizabeth along with her mother Róża, who were both living in New York Elizabeth couldn't bring herself to read it, so she decided to deposit it in a bank vault. It wasn't until 2012 that her daughter Alexandra Bellak pushed to have the diary translated into English so people from all over the world could read it. "I was curious about my past, my heritage, this special woman I was named after (middle name is Renata) and I don't speak Polish (thanks mom!) And she never read it as it was too painful," Alexandra told CNN in an interview conducted over Facebook Messenger.
