For half a century, a terrible secret lay hidden, locked in a trunk in an attic... photos, official documents, and scraps of a diary written by a young girl. "The time has come when I must share my life story... some facts from the past that could make a contribution, however small it may be, to the history of mankind." The Secret Holocaust Diaries is a haunting eyewitness account of Nonna Lisowskaja Bannister, a remarkable Russian-American woman who saw and survived unspeakable evils as a young girl. For half a century, she kept her story secret while living a normal American life. She locked all her photos, documents, diaries, and dark memories from World War II in a trunk. Late in life, she unlocked the trunk, first for herself, then for her husband, and now for the rest of the world. Nonna's story is one of suffering, torture, and death-but also of incredible acts of kindness that show the ultimate triumph of faith and love over despair and evil. The Secret Holocaust Diaries is in part a tragedy, yet it's also an unforgettable true story about forgiveness, courage, and hope.

I'll be honest - I tried to read the book, but it was so heartbreaking that I had to put it down before I was even very far into it. But this is very well written. Just so shocking what people had to endure this and every war. ( )

This was interesting but a little hard to read as it was translated from so many different languages and the additional authors liked to add in their explations of things in the middle of the text, rather than at the end of chapter. I wasn't always sure who was "talking" sometimes. If you are expecting g something detailed like Anne Frank this is not the book for you. But it does give information about the things that some non-Jewish people had to survive during the Holocaust years. Information from a different perspective. ( )

Interesting book. Obvioulsy not great writing. So sad what so many people had to go through at that time. This was not a gripping book nor was it one I will probably remember much detail on in the future. ( )
  KyleneJones | Apr 25, 2022 |
An interesting look at World War II. It wasn't what I expected and deals less with the concentration camps than it does with the tragedies of World War II as a whole, as experienced by Nonna and her family. ( )

An amazing story of survival. I found this to be a great read from a Russian/Ukrainian point of view. ( )

TO THE PAST
To the past, the way has been barred,
And what do I need the past for now?
What is there? Bloodied flagstone -
Or a bricked-up door - or an echo
That still cannot die away...
However much I beg.
--Nonna L. Bannister
Dedicatoria
Información procedente del conocimiento común inglés. Edita para encontrar en tu idioma.
I would like to dedicate this book to the memory of all those who perished during the Holocaust in World War II, who are no longer here to tell their stories, and also to those who survived the horrors of it all but lost their families and loved ones.
