Summary/Abstract: Written in four languages in the margins of a French book, the diary of Abram Icchak Łaski remained anonymous for many years, although it aroused a keen interest in Holocaust scholars both in terms of its form and content. Only recent research has allowed to discover the author’s name. The article presents new possibilities of text interpretation, which appear along with getting to know the identity of the diarist and his milieu.
