About this book

Svetlana Alexievich records the memories of people who were children during the German invasion of the Soviet Union. They remember separation, hunger, occupation, orphanages and the bewildering return of peace in voices preserved decades later. Rejecting military history’s language of strategy and victory, Last Witnesses shows war at the scale of a child’s body and understanding, creating a collective oral history of experiences that official narratives could not contain. This is the Arabic edition published by Mamdouh Adwan Publishing House.
