But Life and Fate was seized by the KGB. When it emerged posthumously, decades later, it was recognized as the War and Peace of the twentieth century. Always at the epicenter of events, Grossman (1905-1964) was among the first to describe the Holocaust and the Ukrainian famine. His 1944 article "The Hell of Treblinka" became evidence at Nuremberg. Grossman's powerful anti?'totalitarian works liken the Nazis' crimes against humanity with those of Stalin. His compassionate prose has the everlasting quality of great art. Because Grossman's major works appeared after much delay we are only now able to examine them properly. Alexandra Popoff's authoritative biography illuminates Grossman's life and legacy. 606 $aAuthors, Russian$y20th century$vBiography 606 $aJewish authors$zSoviet Union$vBiography 606 $aDissenters$zSoviet Union$vBiography 607 $aSoviet Union$2fast 608 $aBiography.$2fast 608 $aBiographies.$2lcgft 615 0$aAuthors, Russian 615 0$aJewish authors 615 0$aDissenters 676 $a891.7342 686 $aKK 4534$qSEPA$2rvk 700 $aPopoff$b Alexandra$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01718908 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910808996603321 996 $aVasily Grossman and the Soviet Century$94116244 997 $aUNINA
