Il Diario di Dawid Sierakowiak è l'unico documento che ci è giunto dal Ghetto di Łódź. Il diario inizia il 28 giugno 1939, poco prima del quindicesimo compleanno di Dawid, e si interrompe il 15 aprile 1943, quando il ragazzo compie 19 anni. Morì l'8 agosto di quell'anno di tubercolosi (fonte: Wikipedia)
