Attention! ONLINE! Alexander Babich. "Odessa 1941-1944. To survive the occupation". Book presentation A voluminous work by Alexander Babich has been published. Several years of research work, long hours in the archives, a lot of documents and photographs ... A great study that allows you to understand, feel what it was like to live during the occupation. "This book does not imply drunken reading from cover to cover ... - says Alexander in the preface to the book, - Those who read the book in their entirety will understand the whole picture of the life of the city and townspeople from 1941 to 1944 ... Forget the phrase:" It was good under the Romanians! " To survive the occupation is to survive. Live and survive. By paying some price. Perhaps, having gained something, but more often - having lost something. Or not to survive, and then lose yourself or life itself. This book deals with how the inhabitants of Odessa and the occupants themselves experienced the occupation. About their methods of survival, circumstances, cost, sacrifices. The history of the war, when the front line is already very far away and around is not our own. The history of the war without superficial pathos and propaganda lies. A large-scale collection of personal memories, archival documents, orders and orders of the authorities, articles from newspapers of those years created a voluminous and multifaceted picture of the life of the occupied city and its inhabitants. Most of these documents have never been published before, and therefore they will be of interest to anyone who is deeply interested in the history of World War II.
