AI-generated narration of the LinkLens-written story only.
Irving Greenwald’s pocket-sized war diary began in tiny handwriting, then the letters grew smaller still. A Library of Congress Veterans History Project blog post describes pages so cramped and blurred with age that much of the writing cannot be read by eye. Greenwald kept writing during combat service in France and after he was injured, while recovering in a hospital. The difficulty of reading those pages makes the continued act of writing especially striking.
The blog says Greenwald recorded details of his daily routine in short, brisk entries that initially seem matter-of-fact. His daughter and sister transcribed the diary in the late 1930s, leaving a way to read words that might otherwise be lost in the tiny script. What changed in Greenwald’s account of daily life after his injury?
