The Journal of Hannah Blum
A Jewish Ghetto Occupant
Warsaw Ghetto, 1941
This story was written by Melissa J. Taylor, April through May of 2004. Please respect my sharing it here and do not pass it on or alter it. A note on historical accuracy: This story was historically accurate when I first wrote it in April of 2004 as an essay for a class. May 18th and 19th I expanded it into a blank journal, and the added items may not be 100% historically accurate. The historical aspects were gleaned from the following books which I had to read for the essay assignment: A History of the Holocaust by Yehudah Bauer, A Holocaust Reader by Lucy Dawidowicz, The Holocaust by Donald Niewyk. Last names were found by looking at an online database of last names of people present in the Poland Warsaw Ghetto. All names are, however, used on a fictional basis.
