But Life and Fate was seized by the KGB. When it emerged posthumously, decades later, it was recognized as the War and Peace of the twentieth century. Always at the epicenter of events, Grossman (1905–1964) was among the first to describe the Holocaust and the Ukrainian famine. His 1944 article "The Hell of Treblinka" became evidence at Nuremberg. Grossmans powerful antitotalitarian works liken the Nazis crimes against humanity with those of Stalin. His compassionate prose has the everlasting quality of great art. Because Grossmans major works appeared after much delay we are only now able to examine them properly. Alexandra Popoffs authoritative biography illuminates Grossmans life and legacy. Author Biography Alexandra Popoff is a former Moscow journalist, an expert on Russian literature and cultural history, and the author of several literary biographies.
