Tanya Savicheva
Tatyana Nikolayevna Savicheva (Russian: Татьяна Николаевна Савичева; 23 January 1930 – 1 July 1944) was a Russian girl who kept a diary during the Siege of Leningrad during World War II. Her diary was used during the Nuremberg Trials as evidence of the Nazi's crimes. Savicheva's images and the pages from her diary became symbolic of the human cost of the Siege of Leningrad, and she is remembered in St. Petersburg with a memorial complex on the Green Belt of Glory along the Road of Life. In her diary, she documents the deaths of her family members from around December 1941 to May 1942 during the Siege of Leningrad during World War II.
