Children are among the principal victims of armed conflicts and slaughters; nonetheless, they perceive events through the prism of their unique perspective and have a range of coping techniques adults don't possess.This overview of writings of ninety-one child survivors bears evidence from a wide range of human ruthlessness. The author presents little-known texts along with famous memoirs and autobiographical fiction, with abundant quotations. Many of these are not only compelling as historical testimony, but poetic and stirringly expressive. Yudit Kiss has not written a historical study or literary criticism of the children's books. She explores, instead, what the authors went through and what they felt and understood about their experience. An accessible and captivating reading, this volume presents a close-up, human size dimension of the destruction. The books written by child survivors also describe the resources and means that helped them to remain human even in the deepest well of inhumanity, offering precious lessons about resistance and resilience"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aGenocide survivors 606 $aChildren$xCrimes against 606 $aHolocaust survivors' writings 606 $aChildren's writings 608 $aCriticism, interpretation, etc. 608 $aBiographies. 610 $aBosnia. 610 $aCambodia. 610 $aHolocaust. 610 $aRwanda. 610 $agenocide. 610 $aresilience. 610 $aresistance. 610 $asurvival. 615 0$aGenocide survivors. 615 0$aChildren$xCrimes against. 615 0$aHolocaust survivors' writings. 615 0$aChildren's writings. 676 $a364.15109253 700 $aKiss$b Judit$01387819 712 02$aOpening the Future$4fnd$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fnd 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996545360503316 996 $aMore Nights Than Days$93437997 997 $aUNISA
