Summary/Abstract: This study evokes a dark chapter of recent history. Eva Heyman’s diary provides an insight into the tragedy of the Jewish population of Northern Transylvania during the Holocaust, step by step, from exclusion, to persecution, humiliation and murder. Her diary offers a personal view, well as a lucid account of events. The emotions and feelings of a 13 year-old child mirrored anti-Semitic measures, such as the ghettoization and deportation that the Jews of Northern Transylvania were subjected to. Eva Heyman’s tragic destiny, whose life was cut short at Auschwitz, should be known beyond the narrow circle of specialists, as her diary is a vivid chronicle of the horrors of the Holocaust.
