Praise for the adult edition, LAST WITNESSES: An Oral History of the Children of World War II:
"Alexievich offers a war narrative that hews closer to the Brothers Grimm than to Homer. The book's gift is to allow the child's malleable perception to flash alongside the adult's somber recollections." --The New York Times "[Alexievich] excavates and briefly gives prominence to demolished lives and eradicated communities. . . . It is impossible not to turn the page, impossible not to wonder whom we next might meet, impossible not to think differently about children caught in conflict." --The Washington Post "A bracing reminder of the enduring power of the written word to testify to pain like no other medium. . . . A reminder that children survive, they grow up, and they do not forget. They are the first and last witnesses." --The New Republic
