Book Synopsis
In her diary, the young Ukrainian Olga describes everyday experiences in a small Ukrainian town under German occupation during World War II. The war of annihilation appears not only as a state of emergency with incomprehensible terror and violence, but also as a space for encounters with German occupiers and new cultural experiences. Her good knowledge of German gets Olga work and saves her from being deported to the Reich for forced labor. The diary testifies both to Olga''s accelerated growing up and manifold, also erotic, horizon expansions as well as to profound loyalty and identity conflicts. As she draws closer to the German enemies, her view of the Soviet homeland becomes more and more critical. After the Red Army returned, she was targeted by the security authorities as a suspected collaborator. The source edition is supplemented by an extensive introduction and commentary.
