Is it better to acknowledge an unpaIatable truth or to embrace the comfort of myth? Jessica Gorter s 900 DAYS contrasts the devastating and unforgettable stories recounted by survivors of the Siege of Leningrad, the infamous German bIockade which caused the deaths of more than one million people during World War ll, with the triumphant memorials fabricated by the Russian state.
The bIockade was one of the defining moments of WorId War Il, but remains largeIy unremembered outside of Russia. ln September 1941, the three million inhabitants of the city now known as St. Petersburg were trapped without food or drinking water. For 900 days, people ate glue, Ieather soIes, cats, and perhaps even their felIow human beings. When the siege was over, nearly a million people had died.
Survivors speak openly, many for the first time, about their experiences and post-war censorship. These are painfuIly aware that true recognition of their trauma and the ruinous policies that allowed it to continue is stilI, even after half a century, far away. |
