Awaiting a Miracle

The Cry of the Homeless One

After making a daring escape off the transport train from the Lodz ghetto en route to the Tremblinka concentration camp, Morris Breitbart found refuge in a farmhouse attic, and then in a hole under a stable. In the depths of despair, he records this terrible and unimaginable time in human history. In his diary, he pours his heart out, lamenting the murder of his family so brutally torn away from him, and the tragic fate of the Jewish people, as he dreams, awaiting a miracle.
