Diary of Boruch Nysenbaum
Since 2019 we have been working on the publication of the diary of Boruch Nysenbaum “Bobruś”, Jewish-Polish volunteer from Warsaw, who died in Spain.
The diary, stored in the Archive of New Files, has not yet been published anywhere and is a valuable record of the observations and thoughts of a teenage Jewish-Polish communist who decided to go to Spain to join the International Brigades.
Unlike the memoirs of other former Dąbrowski Brigade members, “Bobruś” recorded his thoughts directly in the front trenches, which makes his diary authentic and free from outside censorship or editorial interference.
The publication will be accompanied by footnotes, explanations, and additional materials.
