Tatyana Nikolayevna Savicheva (Russian: ?????´?? ??????´???? ??´??????), commonly referred to as Tanya Savicheva (23 January 1930 – 1 July 1944) was a Russian child diarist who endured the Siege of Leningrad during World War II.
During the siege, Savicheva recorded the successive deaths of each member of her family in her diary, with her final entry indicating her belief to be the sole living family member.
Although Savicheva was rescued and transferred to a hospital, she succumbed to intestinal tuberculosis in July 1944 at age 14. Savicheva's image 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.
Her diary was used during the Nuremberg Trials as the evidence of the Nazis’ crimes.
