These volumes, along with other volumes of the diary, were smuggled out of the Warsaw Ghetto in late 1942, and entrusted to Wladyslaw Wojcik. Following the war, Wojcik made some of the volumes available to the Jewish Historical Institute (ZIH) in Warsaw, and others he brought with him when he immigrated to the United States in 1962. All volumes were subsequently translated into English and published by Abraham I. Katsh as"Scroll of Agony" initially in 1965 and in subsequent editions. The extant volumes at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum were acquired from the estate of Wojcik's widow, Irena, in 2009.
