Diary of 'Polish Anne Frank' published 64 years on
Rory McCarthy in Jerusalem
Wednesday June 6, 2007A teenage Jewish girl living under the Nazis in Poland during 1943 feared she was "turning into an animal waiting to die", according to her diary, which documents the final months before her death in the Auschwitz concentration camp.
Rutka Laskier, 14, the same age as the Dutch girl Anne Frank, wrote the 60-page diary over a four-month period in Bedzin, Poland.
