Here are the interviews with the people who eyewitnessed and survived the terrorist
Attack on School #1 in Beslan, Russia on September 1st-3rd, 2004:

Kristina's Diary - Kristina Dzagoeva, a 13 years old girl, was taken hostage with her mother Ludmila and her 10 year old sister Zera. Kristina and her mother survived but Zera was killed. Kristina kept her diary for the entire three days, describing 52 hours of horror. The diary takes several pages in Kristina's notebook. "Somebody is attacking the school", "shot on the spot", "they killed my little sister" - those phrases are written in round child handwriting. The words are wrapping around cute animals - the symbols of the world which had been exploded and demolished in the school gym.

The excerpts from Kristina's diary were published by German magazine Bild and the Russian website www.utro.ru.
