Lewin, a schoolteacher, kept this diary from April 1942-January 1943. It conveys a real sense of life in the ghetto and is written consciously for future generations, bearing witness for posterity. The diary makes it clear that the Jews in the Warsaw ghetto knew Treblinka was a killing centre and that the deportation trains carrying Jews from Warsaw were destined for Treblinka
