Another kind of source, which takes a little different
tack, is Alexandra Zapruder's "Salvaged Pages:  Young
Writers' Diaries of the Holocaust".  It contains diary
excerpt as well as the best biographical information the
author was able to gather from other sources.




Dear friends,

I'm canvassing the ever-helpful museum list to see if
anyone can
direct me towards a well-written examples of a biography
of a child.
It may be a bit of a stretch as I'm not looking for
biographies
written *for* children, but about them.  I realize that
most people
have biographies written about them after a life full of
accomplishment, but one of the core collections at the
Sweet Briar
Museum belonged to a girl who died at the age of sixteen,
and I have a
student interested in writing her biography as an honors
thesis.  Can
anyone point me in the direction of a good model?  Barring
a biography
of a child, perhaps someone might recommend chapters of a
full-fledged
biography in which the early years are dealt with in some
detail.

Thank you all in advance for your assistance.

All best,
Christian Carr
Director, Sweet Briar Museum
