September 1, 1939 - September 2, 1945. World War II: six years and one day that marked humanity. Imagine Europe as a theater stage. On this vast stage, a terrifying performance unfolded, filled with horror, hunger, death, displacements, anguish, and despair.

Horrific! However, the play was not a figment of imagination. Many known and unknown writers penned it, while the actors were also both familiar and unfamiliar. Year by year, the events will be unraveled within the pages of the book through documents, testimonies, and the words of those who suffered the calamities of that war.

We are lucky that we did not experience it! However, hundreds of millions of Europeans lived through it: ordinary citizens, soldiers, resistors, intellectuals, persecuted individuals, politicians, children, and adults, our own. The history of World War II was written in many languages!
