The Diary Keepers offers a riveting look at the story of World War II and the Holocaust through the diaries of Dutch citizens, firsthand accounts of ordinary people living through extraordinary times. The book got some great pre-press already: a starred review (and an interview) in Publishers Weekly: ‘This diverse and enlightening collection of excerpts from journals kept during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands is an essential contribution to the history of WWII… Even those well versed in the subject will find much to discover in this treasure trove of firsthand perspectives.’ On february 21st 2023 The Diary Keepers by Nina Siegal will be published by Ecco/Harper Collins in the US and Harper Collins UK, and in Dutch translation on march 7th, to be published by Harper Collins NL. ![]()
