Zlata Filipovic began keeping a diary when she was almost eleven, writing about the things then important to her: school, piano lessons, parties, skiing, and favorite television shows. Then bombs began to fall on Sarajevo, her home. Sheltered in a once-beautiful apartment now windowless and sandbagged, she wrote of the destruction of treasured places, the deaths of friends, and the futility of war. After she and her family were evacuated to France, Zlata's diary was published by UNICEF and became an important record of the horror of the Bosnian conflict.
