We Must Not Think of Ourselves

Lauren Grodstein

Recruited in the Warsaw Ghetto to record testimony, while still living the life he is recording.

In the Warsaw Ghetto in 1940, a teacher is recruited into a secret project to record the testimony of the people around him, so that some account survives. Grodstein’s novel is built on the real Oneg Shabbat archive, and asks what it means to document a life while still living it.
