See also the article on Tanya Savicheva and the memorial plaque
put up in 2005:

claims that her pages were used as "documents presented at the Nuremberg
trials" and that the original is in the Museum of History with a copy at
the Piskarevskoe cemetery.

That's just from English-language sites. A Russian search engine would
no doubt turn up better material.

If any of you still have the old (1988?) Ted Turner program "Portrait of
the Soviet Union," the last or penultimate segment, "Swords and Plough-
shares," has a short section showing the pages of the diary on film --
as part of a discussion of how reverent memories of the siege of
Leningrad were being recited by schoolchildren.
A very earnest moment.
