Children Are Civilians Too is a powerful collection of post-war short stories by Nobel Prize-winning German author Heinrich Böll, written in the shadow of World War II and its aftermath.

Set in devastated post-war Germany, these stories focus on ordinary people struggling with hunger, guilt, displacement, trauma, and survival. Böll writes with sharp moral clarity and understated humanity, capturing the psychological and social ruins left behind after fascism and war.
