A collection of autobiographies written by young Polish Jews in the 1930s. The candid writings not only reveal the personal struggles, ambitions and dreams of 15 young authors, they also reveal the nature of ordinary Jewish life in Poland in the years between the world wars.
"Perhaps this autobiography will change the course of my lifeThis is something new for me. I have never before examined my life seriously." - from the autobiography of 'Esther', nineteen years old, written in 1939
