"If only I'll be alive...": 12 diaries from the war years
39.99 €
This is a book about ego-documents (documents of personal origin) and a book of ego-documents. The empirical basis of the book is 12 unique wartime diaries written by representatives of a wide typological spectrum of participants and victims of the war - two Red Army soldiers in the active army (a special officer and a penalty officer), one collaborator, three prisoners of war, four Ostarbeiters, and two survivors of the occupation, including one ghetto prisoner. Equipped with the necessary scholarly apparatus, these diaries are autonomous publications, full of unknown or little-known events, details, and perspectives. Such documents are extremely rare in themselves, and their authors undoubtedly heard the call of history and felt a strong inner need to keep them.
