WITNESSES OF WAR: CHILDREN’ S LIVES UNDER THE NAZIS
Book ID/图书代码： 00200005B04257
English Summary/英文概要： Even in this most murderous of European wars, children were not merely passive victims of genocide, bombing, mechanised warfare, starvation policies and mass flight. They were also active participants, going out to smuggle food, ply the black market, and care for sick parents and siblings. As they absorbed the brutal new realities of German occupation, Polish boys played at being Gestapo interrogators, and Jewish children at being ghetto guards or the SS. Within days of Germany’s own surrender, German children were playing at being Russian soldiers. As they imagined themselves in the roles of their enemies, children expressed their hopes, fears and envy in their play. Drawing on a wide range of new sources, from welfare and medical files to private diaries, letters and drawings, Nicholas Stargardt evokes the individual voices of children under Nazi rule. In re-creating their wartime experiences, he has produced a challenging new historical interpretation of the Second World War.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《战争的目击者》是第一部披露二战纳粹统治下儿童们的艰辛生活。在这场可怕的欧洲冲突中，孩子们往往会成为最大的牺牲品，在炸弹的轰炸、机械化的战斗、饥饿政策、大逃亡、大屠杀中，孩子总是最容易受伤害的。当然孩子也不只是被动的受害者，他们也是活跃的积极分子，小小年纪就出来走私食品，倒卖黑市，照顾病怏怏的父母和弟妹。面对德国纳粹统治下的残酷现实，他们一笑而过，波兰的男孩们假扮盖世太保的审判官闹着玩，犹太儿童则扮犹太生活区的侍卫或者纳粹党卫军。就在德军投降的几天里，德国的孩子开始玩假扮苏军的游戏。就是通过扮演这些角色，孩子们才得以发泄他们的屈辱、嫉妒心和恐惧，也可以寄托他们的希望。
《战争的见证》把那些曾经走过第三帝国殖民王国统治的人们的对立观点和形成强烈反差的经历一一展现出来。德国和犹太儿童、波兰和捷克儿童、辛提和残疾儿童都必须依据不同种族、适合培养成统治者和注定要做奴隶尺度、当然最终还是要根据谁注定会谁注定会活下去的标准而被隔离筛选。
纳粹德国把他们的成功寄托在民族的种族净化上，所以孩子们自然而然就是他们发动战争的核心目标。Nicholas Stargardt参考了大量资料，有福利协会和医院提供的档案、私人日记、信笺和照片，把一位位曾经走过黑色时期的孩子们活生生地展现出来，也让我们读者从纵向角度重新解读了纳粹时期的是社会制度。(Sandy)
