“I could not fight the Nazis in the present, as they had the power to still my voice,” Kellner told his grandson at the time. “So I decided to fight them in the future.”
According to Robert Scott Kellner, a retired English professor, the diary was his grandfather’s attempt to provide future generations with a weapon “against any resurgence of such evil.” As the book’s translator and editor, Kellner has also worked on a documentary film about his grandfather and several museum exhibitions based on the diary.
