Full Description

June 1, 1943, Eastern Poland. 

Within just a few hours, the village of Sochy had ceased to exist. Buildings were burned. Residents shot. 

Among the survivors was nine-year-old Teresa Ferenc, who saw her family murdered by German soldiers, and would never forget what she witnessed the day she became an orphan. The horror of that event was etched into her very being and passed on to her daughter, author Anna Janko. 

A Little Annihilation bears witness to both the crime and its aftershocks — the trauma visited on the next generation — as revealed in a beautifully scripted and deeply personal mother-daughter dialogue. As she fathoms the full dimension of the tragedy, Janko reflects on memory and loss, the ethics of helplessness, and the lingering effects of war. 

'Scenes from the war live on as trauma in the memory of the next generation. A Little Annihilation by Anna Janko is an extraordinarily personal and powerful account of how the worst wartime atrocities affect ordinary people and are seldom recorded in the official histories.' — Olga Tokarczuk, winner of the Man Booker International Prize for Flights

'This is a book about children in war and how we inherit trauma — factual and unflinching, but touching and tender...As with Svetlana Alexievich's reportage, in this book war is shown not only as a tragic episode in history, but as a living memory, which even after many years puts us on our guard as a danger which could recur.' — Lithub
