How Yelena survived World War II

Between 1941 and 1944, Adolf Hitler’s Germany surrounded the city of Leningrad, known today as St. Petersburg, but before that the difficulties they had in taking this site caused the death of a large percentage of the civilian population by starvation.

This siege was one of the longest and deadliest in human history, and is now considered a true genocide.

When the war began at that time, Yelena was just a baby who was not even a year old, and she came into the world amid the chaos, famine and disaster of war.

Women lived through difficult times and that is why today she is brave in the face of the difficult situation in Europe, with these attacks that already add up to thousands of victims. (I)
