The years of the Nazi blockade of Leningrad, during which approximately 50,000 people perished from starvation each month, were the most harrowing of World War II. Despite being subjected to hunger and relentless Nazi bombardment, the city's residents never stopped donating blood to support injured frontline soldiers, and continued to work in the tanks and weapons factories. The residents of the besieged Leningrad, though weary and exhausted, understood the critical role their efforts was playing in aiding the Soviet Army against the Nazis. Dmitry Shostakovich's Symphony n7 became a symbol of the resilience of Leningrad's people during the blockade. Witness the courage and strength of the people of Leningrad in their fight against Nazism.
