This book contains the blockade diaries of three amazing women - St. Petersburg-Leningraders Tatyana Velikotnaya, Vera Berkhman and Irina Zelenskaya. Two World Wars invaded their lives: on the First they served as sisters of mercy, on the Second they found themselves in a real hell of the Leningrad blockade. But it was precisely these trials, which were beyond human ideas, that fully revealed their spiritual beauty and fortitude.
