Book excerpt: To mark the 50th anniversary of the end of the Second World War, here is an extraordinary anthology of diaries written by children in Nazi-occupied Europe. With a scope that encompasses the entire war, the breadth of Europe, the London Blitz and the Warsaw ghetto, the diaries are as powerful as The Diary of Anne Frank .The children, who are from all over Europe, write in spare, searing prose of life in ghettos and concentration camps, of bombings, strafings and Blitzkriegs, of dreams and death, fear and courage, tragedy and transcendence. Their voices and their vision will move us all.
