Product Description

Zygmunt Klukowski was a phsycian, surgeon and supervisor at Zamosc County Hospital in Szczebrzeszyn, Poland, when the Germans invaded his country. A veteran of World War I, the Russian Civil War, and the Polish-Russian War of 1920-21, he was also respected as a historian. From 1939 to 1944 he kept a detailed secret journal, making entries daily at first and then, near the end of the occupation, even more frequently. His observations range from matter-of-fact anticipation of war in 1939 to information about his own and other Poles' underground activities. As a whole, the entries reveal his growing recognition that the Nazis intended to destroy Polish culture and all those who had been its bearers. When originally published in Polish, the diary won a major award and soon went into a second edition. Here, translated by his son and edited by his grandchildren, Klukowski's diary provides a rare picture of how non-combatants coped with life in German-occupied eastern Poland.

Loved this book! First hand account of what it was like living in Poland under Nazi occupation during WWII. It doesn't get much more real than this! A unique book...not one you would likely find in a bookstore.
5.0 out of 5 stars Should be back in print 24 April 2013

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is an abridgement of a diary kept by a Polish doctor, hospital administrator, and partisan during WW2. It gives the best picture of life under Nazi occupation I have yet encountered. It is a shame that this book is out of print. It deserves a wider audience.
