	Helga’s diary: A story about growing up during the Holocaust

	Childhood is an extremely important stage in everyone’s life. However, it does not always run smoothly and in a gentle way. The text presents the problems of growing up and socializing in the extremely unfavorable conditions of concentration camps on the example of Helga Weissova’s book The Daily Helga. A girl’s testimony about life in concentration camps. This reading is not only a description of living conditions in Nazi camps, but above all, it is a record of growing up in a reality not adapted for this purpose. It shows the girl’s private perspective on the rapidly changing world that surrounds her. For this reason, the reading arouses a lot of extreme emotions and therefore provides very interesting analytical material on the subjects of childhood, adolescence and primary socialization.
