Philipp Manes' nine notebooks detailing life in Terezin Concentration Camp. The last notebook breaks off mid-sentence. After Manes’ deportation to Auschwitz, the notebooks were left with fellow inmate Lies Klemich, who hid them until she was liberated and carried them with her for many months until she found a way to send them to the Franck family in Bavaria who were childhood friends of Manes. They in turn traced his children and sent the notebooks to his daughter Eva Manes in the UK in 1947/8.
