A review by jonbot666
War Diary by Yevgenia Belorusets

3.0

This book took me a while. Sometimes things just come up that make books a longer journey. Reading about the first days of disbelief about the war and wartime in general is always an interesting but difficult exploration of the dark side of human nature. The blanket historical accounts tend to veer away from how personal the experience of war is. These are not numbers of casualties and displaced populations. These are stories of artists, teachers, sousing, parents, sisters… it will keep happening and until it affects us or we feel we can exact any change on an individual level, it will keep happening. This book provides no answers but holding a record of life lived is necessary nevertheless. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
