The newly published diary of Sheindi Miller, a 14-year-old girl who recorded her life in Auschwitz, starts where the diary of Anne Frank stopped, according to the curator of a new exhibition in Berlin
Shortly after arriving at Auschwitz on June 14, 1944, 14-year-old Sheindi Ehrenwald stood with other inmates, naked, her head shaved and dripping with disinfectant.
An SS officer was present. After inspecting the group, he ordered the wardens to take Sheindi’s 12-year-old sister, Dori, to his quarters. The man, she later realized, was Josef Mengele, a physician notorious for conducting grotesque experiments on Jewish prisoners, many of them children. Dori never made it out of the camp.
