Title : I'm Fifteen and I Don't Want to Die - Christine Arnothy - book

Summary :

World War II ravaged the European continent. In 1944-1945, the Germans occupied Budapest and sought to win their final battle against the Russians in the martyred city, which was bombarded day and night. Survival was essential under the rubble.
Christine Arnothy takes refuge with her parents in the basement of a building on the banks of the Danube. Writing by candlelight, she recounts daily events and evokes hunger and thirst. To fetch water with her father, she has to step over corpses in the streets.
After a two-month siege, the city, like all of Hungary, was occupied by the Soviets. Choosing freedom, Christine and her parents crossed the Austro-Hungarian border on foot and ended up in a refugee camp in Austria.
This teenager's vocation as a writer was revealed in the face of death. This war diary and its sequel, It's Not So Easy to Live , are read around the world.
