Katsh: "Polish-born American educator and researcher who was a scholar of Judaica and was credited with the addition of modern Hebrew to the curricula of American colleges; during the Cold War he persuaded Soviet officials to allow him to study and microfilm--and thus make available to scholars--thousands of Jewish documents they had seized and hidden (b.

This trained him for the mission he undertook at the beginning of World War II, to devote all his efforts to preserving a record for posterity.his intention of objectivity is carried out with remarkable tenacity, and with increasing dedication in the face of hardship, as the dreadful events increased his own physical and emotional suffering and his anguish at the mounting tragedy around him.The diary has been preserved in toto, having been smuggled out of the Warsaw Ghetto before its total destruction.

Cover has some wear and soiling. From an on-line posting on Abraham I. Katsh: "Polish-born American educator and researcher who was a scholar of Judaica and was credited with the addition of modern Hebrew to the curricula of American colleges; during the Cold War he persuaded Soviet officials to allow him to study and microfilm--and thus make available to scholars--thousands of Jewish documents they had seized and hidden away (b. Aug. 10, 1908, Poland--d. July 21, 1998, New York, N.Y.)." Derived from a Kirkus review: The Warsaw Diary of Chaim A. Kaplan covers the period from Germany's invasion of Poland on Sept. 1, 1939, to August 4, 1942. Then Kaplan, destitute and with few hopes left, awaited his turn to be "expelled," worried mainly now about the survival of the little stack of notebooks in which, in "clear and beautiful" Hebrew script "with no erasures," he had recorded the Jewish martyrdom. Kaplan, a distinguished teacher and Hebraicist, was born in White Russia, and one of the special virtues of his testimony is to be found in the fact that, although he had lived in Warsaw for 40 years, he identified neither with Poland nor with Polish Jewry. Thus, though his own fate is bound up with the tragedy all around him, he seems able to observe it with a degree of objectivity which makes his picture all the sharper and stronger. Dr. Katsh has done an excellent job of capturing the terrible spirit of the time and place in clear, tense, quiet prose. Translation of Megilat yisurin. Originally published as The Scroll of Agony, this is a classic depiction of the Holocaust. Carefully hidden and preserved in a kerosene can, twenty years after the annihilation of the Warsaw Ghetto, it was discovered. It is an extraordinary first-person record of the Nazi occupation and destruction of Warsaw's Jewish community.

In 1936 he visited Israel, intending to settle there in order to be with his two children who had emigrated there earlier, but was unable to obtain a position and returned to Warsaw.Kaplan's Judaism seems to have been based on national and historic allegiance, rather than on traditional observance.Kaplan began a personal diary as early as 1933.

Kaplan himself was largely responsible for the miracle of its preservation. In 1942, when he knew that the Nazi noose was around his neck, he gave it to a Jewish friend named Rubinsztejn, who was working daily at forced labor outside the ghetto, returning each evening. Rubinsztejn smuggled the notebooks out one by one, handing them over to a Pole. Kaplan's Hebrew script is clear and beautiful, with no erasures, a remarkable feat in view of the almost impossible conditions under which it was written. At the worst moments, on the brink of destruction, Kaplan sustained himself with the hope that the diary would be saved. His own future worried him little; the fate of his chronicle was his main concern. This concern increased in proportion with the daily atrocities of the Nazis.He wrote several times a day in order to include every detail of the horror surrounding him.he writes in his last entry (August 4, 194.

WorldCat: Libraries worldwide that own item: 3. Chaim Aron Kaplan was an educator and diarist of the Holocaust. He was born in Gorodishche, Belarusm received a talmudicl education at the famous yeshivah of Mir and later studied at the Government Pedagogical Institute in Vilna. In 1902 he settled in Warsaw, where he founded a pioneering elementary Hebrew school, of which he was principal for 40 years. The school was known as "the Sixth Grade Grammar Elementary School of Ch. A. Kaplan. He was an exponent of the direct method of language teaching, in which Hebrew was taught as a spoken language, using the Sephardi pronunciation. He did so despite strong opposition from exponents of traditional methods, he published several Hebrew textbooks advocating his method. An ardent Hebraist, he participated actively in the Society for Jewish Writers and Journalists in Warsaw, and contributed to many Hebrew and Yiddish periodicals. He visited the United States in 1921 and Eretz Israel in 1936l, intending to settle there in order to be with his two children who had emigrated there earlier, but was unable to obtain a position and returned to Warsaw. In 1937 he published a book in Hebrew called Pezurai, a collection of essays and articles on the Hebrew language and Jewish education that he had published during the 40 years of teaching. He also wrote Hebrew grammar and children's textbooks on Jewish history and customs. His Judaism seems to have been based on national and historic allegiance, rather than on traditional observance. Something of an introvert, he made books his friends and the walls of the academies his companions. At times he felt that his ambition to be independent was a primary obstacle to him in attaining leadership in the Warsaw community, and for that reason he was unable to develop his full talents and intellectual abilities. On the other hand, his being a respected member of the community gave him comfort. He began a personal diary in 1933.
