Introduction by Anna Reid
Preface
1 “You’re my little girl! How will you survive there without borshcht?”
2 “Who would think of powdering their nose in a war?”
3 “Look at the family she’s from. And we’re just ordinary!”
4 “Mummy, why are there all uncles and only one auntie?”
5 “Why wash? It’s dark, isn’t it!”
6 “Klava, I beg you, don’t take up smoking there!”
7 “That was somebody’s father, and I have killed him!”
8 “Your daughter died for the Motherland. It has not been possible to
bury her”
9 “The girls behave with exceptional modesty and discipline”
10 “Hey, was that you who whacked him? Well done, now go and wash
yourself!”
11 “I knew nothing about him and I had just killed him”
12 “How will I live without them when the war is over and we all go off
in different directions?”
