This is an automatically translated description

A Jewish girl, Zelma Meerbaum-Eisinger was born in 1924 in Chernivtsi. Her short life was ruthlessly cut short in 1942 in one of the Nazi labour camps in Transnistria, when she was barely eighteen. Zelma's poems, written in German and dedicated to a beloved friend, miraculously survived. They testify to an extraordinary poetic talent that was brutally trampled by the Nazi regime. Today her name stands next to that of the Dutch girl Anne Frank, author of the famous Diary.
