However, I think this book has more in common with the diaries of non-Jewish Russian youths during this period -- such as Nina Kosterina. Lena rarely mentions the Nazis, and she didn't experience firsthand any of their atrocities (though she has no illusions about the fate of her loved ones back in Poland). She doesn't even talk about the war very much. Instead she writes about her studies, her budding sexuality, and her activities in Communist youth organizations. In other words -- you won't see the stuff about ghettos and yellow stars and going into hiding like you will read in the diaries of Anne Frank, Rutka Laskier, etc.
Lena was a very intelligent and likeable girl with a genuine literary talent. I enjoyed watching her grow and mature in her diary, and I think the diary is well worth reading. But don't expect it to be like other "Holocaust diaries" out there.
