Negative Positive
Title: Should be Required Reading
Review: "Defending Leningrad", formerly published as "The Girl from Kashin", ought to be required reading for Holocaust History, right alongside "Anne Frank's Diary of a Young Girl" and "Because of Romek". Ina's journal, and her father's post-humous tribute are extraordinary -- precisely because the Partisans were, in fact, very ordinary Soviet citizens. Ina's diary in her own words is heart-breakingly intimate and a very powerful account of one young Lenigrader's resistance against the blockade.
