Annotation

"The Last Witnesses" is the second book written by Nobel laureate Svetlana Aleksievich about World War II. Instead of women, children are now telling us about this hell, or rather: prematurely aged adults, who were children or teenagers between the ages of two and fourteen at the time of the fascist German attack on the Soviet Union; Whose childhood was taken away in the minutes of the first bombardment. The subtitle of the book is "Solo for a child's voice". Each story of truly orphaned, abandoned, starving children is connected here as an eternal chorus and creates one horrifying epic. The characters of this book are mostly Belarusians, who were hit by the first strongest wave of the war earlier than other peoples of the Soviet Union. A pioneer camp turned into an orphanage, a camp dug out of a burning village, a concentration camp or a partisan hut set up in the forest - these are the places where the child's astonished, but already omniscient gaze sees the enemy: a strong and courageous person with a manly appearance, who is "so beautiful - and kills". Images of soul-stirring cruelty are replaced here by such unbelievable miracles that can happen "only in a fairy tale or during war". In the chaos, where the longing for the mother and the feeling of hunger is even stronger than fear, someone finds a loved one, someone is comforted by an angel in unbearable suffering, and many, very many, are helped by a complete stranger, because "there is no such thing as a stranger", all are relatives and survivors of the blockade of Leningrad The children also give the last piece of bread to the German prisoner...
