Between 1939 and 1945, the Nazis forcibly imprisoned Jews in more than 1,100 ghettos across occupied Europe. For the teenagers who lived within those walls, the experience meant the sudden, violent loss of school, family routines, friendships, and the very possibility of a future. Their stories, told through diary entries, photographs, visual history testimony, and poetry, tell a complex narrative of suffering and death but also of love and hope.
