Reviews
"We may have thought that the territory of World War II has been by now well-mapped and explored; but in this meticulously researched and richly revealing book, Nicholas Stargardt uncovers a whole parallel continent, where children lived, struggled and sometimes perished, within the adult arena of war. Through the poignant documents they left behind, as well as other evidence, Stargardt gives us vivid insight into the fates of children who were indoctrinated into Nazism and incarcerated in brutal orphanages; who smuggled food into ghettos or formed forest bands for survival; and whose minds and hearts were indelibly marked by the horrors they witnessed, and to which they bore witness. An important and courageous work." --Eva Hoffmann "As Stargardt shows in this well-researched and horrific history, the lives of children were ravaged by Hitler's goals and the war he produced . . . it's a sharp and taunt account of misery." --"Publishers Weekly," starred review "An absorbing study of Nazi-era childhood, drawing on diaries, interviews and other primary sources . . . Fascinating and often unsettling; an illuminating companion to firsthand accounts such as Imgard Hunt's "On Hitler's Mountain "and "The Diary of Anne Frank."" --"Kirkus Reviews," starred review "The true victims of any war are children. Using archival sources and a vast bibliography, Stargardt chronicles life under Nazi rule, which left over thirteen million abandoned and orphaned children after the war . . .

In comprehensively studying a population defined not by race, religion or nationality but by age, Stargardt has added considerably and imaginatively to the scholarship of the Holocaust and war.

Synopsis
Already hailed as " magnificent . . . some of the best historical writing about the aftermath of the war I have ever read . . . stunning" "(The Guardian)," "Witnesses of War" breaks new ground in its exploration of the lives and the fate of children of all nationalities under the Nazi regime. Children were at the center of Nazi ideology; now we have their history of those years. Their stories open a world we have never seen before. War came home to children as a set of events without precedent, spectacular and terrifying by turns. As the Nazis overran Europe, children were saved or damned according to their race. Precious few remained unscathed during the war, and most suffered a moment that overturned their lives. For some, it was the evacuation to become junior colonists in the East; for others, it was the onset of heavy bombing, the separation of families or learning to keep their parents alive by smuggling food, creating black markets and devising their own escape networks. Some herded women waiting to be shot. Girls manned flak batteries; boys confronted Soviet tanks. Drawing on an untouched wealth of original material - school assignments; juvenile diaries; letters from evacuation camps, reformatories and asylums; letters to fathers at the front lines; even accounts of children' s games -- Nicholas Stargardt breaks stereotypes of victimhood and trauma to give us the gripping individual stories of the generation Hitler made., Already hailed as "magnificent . . . some of the best historical writing about the aftermath of the war I have ever read . . . stunning"(The Guardian),Witnesses of Warbreaks new ground in its exploration of the lives and the fate of children of all nationalities under the Nazi regime.
