Ida Fink (Hebrew: אידה פינק‎, 1 November 1921 – 27 September 2011) was a Polish-born Israeli author who wrote about the Holocaust in Polish.

She was a student of music at the Lwów Conservatory, and from the age of 16, she had made up her mind to become a writer, but her studies were halted by the German invasion of Poland in 1939.

She wrote about her experiences during the escape with her sister, using Aryan documents, in her book: "We Walk at Night, We Sleep in the Daylights" (1993).

[3] Although Fink was an Israeli writer, her books were originally written in her childhood language: Polish, and were later translated into Hebrew.

She focused on episodes in the fate of individuals, their personal relationships, and their daily struggle for survival and their hardships during the Holocaust.

[5] Fink's goal was not to document history, but to immortalize the individual, the personal story of the little people, who were not meant to be heroes.

The emphasis was more on the mental impression of the abuses and torments: feelings of horror, astonishment, wonder at a world that had deviated from its course, reflections on human nature, and sometimes even a sensitivity to beauty.

A documentary about Ida Fink, The Garden that Floated Away, was produced by Israeli filmmaker Ruth Walk.
