Abstract

Angela Guéron penned these lines in her diary on 3 March 1913. The diary, first published by Avigdor Levy,1 is a rare testimony of the suffering of the civil population inside the besieged city of Edirne. Guéron was at the time a teacher in the local Alliance Jewish school for girls. She spent all five months of the blockade in her native city of Edirne and so was able to report the daily events that shook her life as well as those of her fellow-citizens. Her diary provides us with a glimpse into those eventful days in the history of Edirne, the second capital of the Ottoman to Istanbul.
