World War II was the first modern war in which more civilians than
soldiers were killed or maimed: When it ended in August 1945, more
than thirty-nine millions civilians had died as a direct result of
the war, and some thirteen million of these were children. In
Through the Eyes of Innocents, Emmy Werner tells the story of the
children of World War II through their own words. Drawing on
diaries, letters, and journals kept by youngsters caught up in the
war, Werner shows the universality of their experience. Children
and teenagers from a dozen countries - England, Germany, France,
Japan, the former Soviet Union, Austria, Holland, Belgium, Denmark,
Norway, Poland and the United States - are all represented in some
200 eye-witness accounts. Werner focuses on their shared reactions
to the war, the hardships they endured, how they coped, and how the
war experience shaped their lives. The message they share with
other children in contemporary wars is an extraordinary affirmation
of life and the sustaining power of hope and human decency.
