Last Witnesses: Unchildlike Stories by Richard Pevear, Larissa Volokhonsky, Svetlana Alexiévich
5.0
This book gutted me. It's a collection of short oral histories from dozens of people who were children during the German invasion of Russia in WWII. Only just now translated into English, it was published in Russian in the 1980s.
Trigger warnings for all the horrors of war, as experienced by children. I listened to the audiobook version, which uses several narrators speaking English with Russian accents. Some of the stories are extremely difficult to listen to, but I think it's more important than ever to hear these accounts.
