House 6/1 is holding it down. Even kittens can survive in Stalingrad?!?!?

This needed some reading up on the side.
I'm learning a lot about Russian history and it's nuances :)

Not a light read. But a brilliant one. I’m not the most familiar with Holocaust literature but Grossman’s prose is truly gut-wrenching, especially the foreboding sense of inevitability. Similar to War and Peace, the story moves between different pockets of characters constantly… I don’t think the story has been in Stalingrad since the beginning. Thoroughly enjoying so far.
