The 900-day siege of Leningrad was one of the turning points of the Second World War. It slowed down the German advance into Russia and became a national symbol of survival and resistance. Some 750,000 civilians died of cold and hunger. Lydia Ginzburg, a respected literary scholar, survived. Using her own diary records, along with conversations and impressions collected over the years, she distilled the collective experience of life under siege into this moving account.
