Renya Kulkielko, a teenager in Jedrzejow, about 50 miles from Krakow, felt the panic that spread with the German attack. People streamed from the cities to the countryside and ran from one town to another, hoping to find safety. Wounded people and cattle lay on the roads; low-lying planes sprayed bullets. She described the heart-rending cries of babies whose mothers had been killed, the stench of dead bodies, and entire villages in flames. German tanks appeared, then German soldiers, who entered houses and took whatever they fancied. In Kulkielko's town they surrounded the Jewish street, locked a group of Jews in the synagogue, and lit it on fire. Similar scenes occurred all over (...) Poland.

Kulkielko was born near Kielce into a prosperous family with a Zionist outlook. Her account, which takes the form of a diary, extends from the outbreak of the was through her involvement in the Jewish resistance, to her arrival in Palestine in March 1944. It was written in Kibbutz Dafna in the summer of 1946, then sent to America where it was published in New York in 1947 by a small Zionist publishing house. Even so, it carried a foreword by the well-known author Ludwig Lewisohn.

And as if all this wasn’t enough to handle, Ludwig wrote the introduction to Renya Kulkielko’s Holocaust memoir of resistance as a ghetto fighter and survival in prison, Escape from the Pit, one of the earliest accounts in a literature that was to grow slowly until several more decades would pass. This “new literature of martyrdom,” Ludwig [Lewisohn] wrote, was unlike the earlier Jewish memorial books, for “It was, it is, an heroic literature ... of a people that has a great, a burning, a triumphant will to survive—to survive not only in the body, but by its survival to cause goodness and justice and the free spirit of man to triumph over all the foul fury of the powers and

principalities of earth.”
