Summary/Abstract: Yet unknown diary of the 17-year old Jewess hiding in a barn near Przemyśl, Cesia Gruft, in the moths following the liquidation of the Przemyśl ghetto. It is preceded by an article briefly analyzing the difficult, complex and psychologically complicated relationships between the persecuted Jews and their rescuers. The analysis shows the difficulty of an unambiguous categorization of the rescuers’ motives and the diary’s text ends with a short comment on the background of help given as well as on the future fate of the people mentioned in the diary.
