Blumka, the author of this diary, lives in the big house, along with Doctor Korczak, Lady Stefa and 200 orphaned Jewish children. Zygmus, who brought a fish back to freedom; Reginka, who filled the darkest nights with her stories; Pola, who decided to grow a pea in his own ear; Chaim, who went to a jury for destroying an anthill; little Pedrinha, who helped unload the charcoal cart with his chamber pot… Blumka writes about them all in her diary, and when words fail, she draws. Until the day the war starts... and the diary is interrupted. But its history is recorded forever… Text and image, reality and fiction intertwine to give a face and a individuality to each child, whose tragic fate is currently only remembered through a metal inscription on a pad of granite.
