War's Unconquered Children Speak
ISBN-13: 9781628800999 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 274 str.
This remarkable work is the result of the author's four-month journey throughout Europe and the Middle East to meet "children of war" and talk with them. While there, she recorded the stories of children and families who had lost homes, relatives, and friends, and were living in ruined villages, orphanages, and refugee camps. All the people and places whose stories are shared here were real, though some of the names were changed to protect relatives. And though her journey was made just after the end of the Second World War, the 2016 preface by a displaced Syrian teenager demonstrates that the effects of war on children and their families are no different today. As Sophia Fahs said in the introduction to the first edition, "I recommend this book] to anyone, of any age beyond childhood, who cares to see human problems dramatized in the experiences of real people... and] who is willing to listen when the children of war themselves speak."
