MENACHEM OPENHEIM (OPPENHEIM) (b. 1906)
Author of approximately seventy notebooks in Yiddish (which
were found on blank pages and the margins of a prayer book) concerning life in
the Lodz ghetto, published in the journals Sinai, vol. 14, ה-ו, pp. קס״ט-ק״ע, and Yerushelaim (Jerusalem) (1950), pp. רמ״א-רע״ח—journals of an ordinary Jew.
In the saddest moments of his life, he showed no interest whatsoever in
publishing his impressions of specific events in the Lodz ghetto. The notebooks were not written in any
chronological order, but took up certain days between February 1940 and October
1944. They were published by Mordechai
Zer-Kavod.
