Babi Yar

di A. Anatoli (Autore)

David Floyd (Traduttore)

Vintage Digital, 2023

This is the gripping story of Kyiv during the Second World War told by a young boy who saw it all. 'Rightly hailed a masterpiece' Daily Mail Anatoli Kuznetsov is twelve years old in September 1941 when the German army enters Kyiv, Ukraine and the killings begin 'So here is my invitation: enter into my fate, imagine that you are twelve, that the world is at war and that nobody knows what is going to happen next...' Babi Yar recounts the massacre of Jews and others at the ravine known as Babi Yar. Within days of the invasion, thousands are executed. Anatoli hears the gunfire from his home and begins recording what he sees in his journals. As starvation and fear spread through the city, neighbours collaborate, families disappear, and entire communities are erased. As Holocaust literature based on first-hand testimony, Babi Yar preserves eyewitness accounts of one of the largest massacres in the history of the Holocaust and confronts the attempt to silence it. 'Extraordinary' Orlando Figes, Guardian 'A vivid first-hand account of life under one of the most savage of occupation regimes... A book which must be read and never forgotten' The Times
