This book is a joint work of Boris and Lyudmila Zarkua - two “young” people who are 83 years old each. In this book they share true stories about their wartime childhood and post-war years. The book also contains the poetic work of Boris Zarkua. The authors consider it their civic duty to pass the baton of memory of those years to their children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and all those who continue the noble cause of searching and identifying and informing possible relatives about missing heroes.
