From April 1942 to March 1944, Hélène Berr, a recent graduate of the Sorbonne, kept a journal that is an intensely moving, intimate and harrowing text of astonishing literary maturity. Her last recorded words are 'Horror, horror, horror' - she and the rest of her Jewish family were sent to Auschwitz.
