Poslednie svideteli by Svetlana Alexievich
This is the second book (the first one was "War's Unwomanly Face") in the famous fiction-documentary cycle "The Voices of Utopia" by Svetlana Alexievich. These are the recollections of the Great Patriotic War by those who were 6-12 years old during the war - its most impartial and unhappiest witnesses. The war seen through children's eyes is ever scarier than the one captured through women's eyes. Alexievich's books have nothing in common with the type of literature where "the writer just writes, the reader just reads".
But her books often raise the question - do we even need such horrible truth? The writer herself responds to this question, "The person without memory can only create evil and nothing else but evil."
"The Last Witnesses" is the feat of the children's memory.
