Svetlana Alexievich Quotes

Somebody Betrayed Us... The Germans Learned The Location Of Our Partisan Troop. They Surrounded The Forest From All Sides. We Were Hiding In The Deep Woods, Hiding In The Swamps Where The Torturers Did Not Go [...] A Radio Operator Was With Us. She Gave Birth Recently. The Baby Was Hungry... Wanting The Breast... But The Mother Is Starving, She Has No Milk, And The Baby Is Crying. The Germans Are Nearby... With Dogs... If The Dogs Hear The Baby, We're All Dead. All Of Us - Thirty People... Do You Understand? We Make A Decision... Nobody Dares To Tell Her The Commader's Order, But The Mother Guesses It Herself. She Puts The Bundle With The Baby Into The Water And Holds It There For A Long Time... The Baby Does Not Cry... Not A Sound... And We Cannot Lift Our Eyes. We Cannot Look At The Mother Or At Each Other
