Product Details :
Much has been written about the heroism and exploits of war, and about the extent to which it is needed as a means of achieving goals that may be considered noble. But the constant question remains: Is there a justification for peace, our happiness, and even eternal harmony, if one small tear of an innocent child is shed for it?
In World War II, more than one hundred million people were killed, wounded, and displaced in the bloodiest war - so far - in our human history. Much has been written about the tragedies and consequences of this dark phase of our history. But how did the last living witnesses see her? Children of this war?
More than thirty years after the end of that war, Svetlana, in her book The Last Witnesses, brings the remaining heroes of that stage back to their childhood that lived through the war, to tell in their words the last words... about a time that would end with them...

Product Details :
Thousands of wars took place, short and long. We knew the details of some of them, while other details were absent among the bodies of the victims. Many wrote, but men always wrote about men. Everything we knew about war, we knew through “the man’s voice.” We are all prisoners of “men’s” perceptions and feelings about war, prisoners of “men’s” words. As for women, they have always been silent.
In World War II, approximately one million Soviet women participated in fighting on all fronts and in various tasks. Svetlana raises important questions about the role of women in the war: Why did women, who defended their land and took their place in an exclusive male world, not defend their history? Where are their words and where are their feelings? There is a whole hidden world. Their war remained unknown...
In her book, “War Has No Female Face,” Svetlana writes the history of this war. Women's war.
In her book, Zinc Boys, Svetlana Alexievich documented the Soviet intervention in Afghanistan between 1979 and 1985. In it, she collected interviews with soldiers returning from the war, or with mothers and wives of soldiers who were killed there, and whose bodies were returned in coffins made of zinc.
The result of the war was thousands of dead, disabled and missing people, which prompted Svetlana to raise sensitive questions about the war: Who are we? Why did we do that? Why did this happen to us? Why did we believe all that?
Svetlana was put on trial for publishing this book, and part of the documents related to the trial were added in Arabic translation.
