"This book provides an important insight into the inner world of Jews as they suffered through the Holocaust. It moved me time and again."—Michael Berenbaum, author of The World Must Know: The History of the Holocaust as Told in the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum

“Alexandra Garbarini's Numbered Days is a path-breaking study.  Based essentially on unpublished diaries written by Jews during the Holocaust in several occupied European countries, East and West, Garbarini brilliantly demonstrates how important such testimonies are not only for our understanding of individual fate, but also as sources for the history of the collective fate of European Jews during those years.  This book will appeal to both the general reader and historians for many years to come.”—Saul Friedlander, UCLA
