The diary of Mina Perlberger was begun ca. Mar. 1943 after Perlberger and her sister escaped from the ghetto at Rzeszów, Poland. The typescript of the diary was completed in 1984. The collection of poems and the list of family members were compiled during and after her emigration to the United States. Copies of the poems and the list were donated to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum along with the typescript. The original diary (in Polish) and an English translation were donated to the archives at Yad Vashem in 1985.
