A Memoir of the Warsaw Uprising

On August 1, 1944, a young man running an errand in Warsaw became caught in the midst of a heroic uprising against Nazi occupation. Initially filled with optimism, the rebellion tragically unfolded over 63 days, culminating in brutal suppression and immense loss of life. The firsthand account captures the urgency and chaos of the struggle, portraying the experiences of dodging gunfire, aiding the wounded, and mourning the dead. The narrative's fragmented, poetic style reflects the immediacy of the moment, offering a powerful witness to the horrors of war. Revised translations have restored previously censored passages, enhancing its significance as both a historical record, and a literary work.
