Детская книга войн‪ы‬

This book is a genuine historical document. The journalists at Argumenty i fakty newspaper have gathered together all the surviving diaries written by Russian children during the Second World War that it has been possible to find, and now, for the first time in seventy years, these diaries have been brought together in a single volume. They are horrifying and honest testimonies of the fate that befell millions of little citizens of the great Russian nation, and of the things they were forced to experience.  We have produced this book in order to honour their memory and to preserve these manuscripts for posterity. More than half of the thirty-five diaries included in this collection are published here for the first time.
