This film is extrmemly moving and sad, shedding a light on the life of Rutka in Poland and the terrible end she met through the cruelty of the nazis. Throughout the movie, I was amazed by the incredible writing of the young 14 year old Rutka and most adults would be unable to write so beautifully. Beautiful but utterly heartbreaking.

Plot summary
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.

A tiny but incredibly powerful representation of Nazi's barbarism toward Jews in Poland, revealed through a stunningly beautiful and brilliant young Jewish girl forced to witness atrocities no one her age should be aware of in such detail, let alone see. This is Rutka Laskier's brief and heartbreaking account of the three months leading up to her deportation to Auschwitz. As abhorrent as it is to think about it's vitally important that personal accounts of the Holocaust are documented and passed down throughout generations so that we never forget. In my opinion this is a story that should be known to everyone.
