Anna Janko (born Aneta Jankowska, 27 August 1957), is a Polish poet, writer, columnist and literary critic.
Her mother, as a 9-year-old child, survived the massacre carried out by the German army in the village of Sochy.
Janko presented the event in her book Mała Zagłada (A Little Annihilation),[5][6][7] published in 2015, which won the "Gryfia" Literary Award.
[1] Olga Tokarczuk, winner Nobel Prize in Literature (2018), and winner of The Man Booker International Prize (2018) said about the book A Little Annihilation (Mała Zagłada): "Scenes from the war live on as trauma in the memory of the next generation.
A Little Annihilation by Anna Janko is an extraordinarily personal and powerful account of how the worst wartime atrocities affect ordinary people and are seldom recorded in the official histories.
