Join The Women's Rosh Chodesh Group for a docent-guided tour of

The Girl in the Diary: Searching for Rywka from the Lodz Ghetto

Sunday, December 17 • 2:00 pm
Maltz Museum 2929 Richmond Rd., Beachwood

Take a docent-guided tour of this moving exhibit, brought to the Maltz Museum from the Galicia Jewish Museum in Krakow, Poland. In 1945, a diary was found in the ashes of a destroyed crematorium in Auschwitz, written by a 14-year-old Jewish girl named Rywka Lipszyc. The diary documented her life in the Lodz Ghetto between October 1943 and April 1944. Excerpts from her diary are supplemented in the exhibit with commentary, artifacts, and photographs of others’ lives in the ghetto to help us better understand the experiences Rywka describes. There are no photos of Rywka, but this exhibit is a tribute to the life of a child who will never be forgotten.
