6/??
The introduction was written by Eva Hoffman. Now the book goes into the diaries. The volumes that were found begin in March of 1941.
I'm going to skip over most of her self-psycho-analysis and her love life, sorry. You'll have to read it yourself. She's an aspiring writer who has terrible self-doubt and anxiety about her talent, and accomplishes pretty much nothing in creating any artistic works. But bits and pieces about the war elsewhere in Europe creep in.
[At times] "You must make a stand, wax indignant at time, try to get to the bottom of things. But indiscriminate hatred is the worst thing there is. It is a sickness of the soul...I used to believe that my inner conflicts were due to a particular cause...I thought that they simply reflected a clash between my primitive instinct as a Jew threatened with destruction [by the Germans] and my acquired, rationalist and socialist belief that no nation is an undifferentiated mob...Life cannot be forced into pre-set molds."
