Last Witnesses: An Oral History of the Children of World War II (Poslednie Svideteli)

The second book in the celebrated fiction-documentary series 'Voices of Utopia' by Svetlana Alexievich, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature 'for her polyphonic work—a monument to the suffering and courage of our time.' Memories of the Great Patriotic War from children—its most impartial and most unfortunate witnesses. The war, seen through children's eyes, was even more horrific than that captured through a woman's gaze in 'The Unwomanly Face of War.' 'The Last Witnesses' is a feat of children's memory. Like the other books in the series, it is published in a new author's edition.
