Renia's Diary - Renia Spiegel

This one is a hard one to write about.  A true story of a young Jewish girl Renia, growing up in Poland during the second World War.  Isolated from her mother and younger sister, she misses them deeply.  I just found that most of this story was about her pining for her boyfriend and worrying about her friendships, like most teenagers with little mentioned about what is going on around her.  The most interesting part was the final chapter about what happened after the war, and how her diary was discovered. 1/5

Though it shows that the mundane concerns of life go on, even in adversity (which is perhaps comforting), it takes away from the need for the diary, I think.
