3.0 out of 5 stars Stolen Childhood, 27 April 2004
By A Customer
This book tells the moving and not very well known true story of theillegal deportation of approximately 1.7million Polish people from EasternPoland during WW2 by Soviet forces. It describes the modern day term ofethnic cleansing of a population on a masive scale. It focuses on theefforts to save a large proportion of children made orphans by theexecution and death of their parents and how they survived their grim andtrying ordeal of survival in the wastes of the USSR. Following theirrelease they made their way with great diificulty to where the Polish Armyunder General Anders was forming in the USSR, before being allowed toleave for Iran and Iraq. From there it focuses on the various places thatthese refugees found shelter throughout the free world and in particularin East Africa, especially Tanganyka, now known as Tanzania. The effortsmade to help these children and others recover from their traumas andexperiences are very well described and how a sense of normality wasestablished whilst living in an alien African environment. It describes ingreat detail the conflict that arose as the Polish Communist Governmentsought to make this group of orphans be returned to an oppressive regimeand how they were helped and guided to make their way via Europe, to afree life in Canada, with the help in particular of the author, a priest.This book was brought to my attention by my own mother who sufferedsimilar experiences, and lived with them and shared their experiencesespecially in being deported to the USSR and living in the refugee camp inTengeru, Tanganyka. I would say it is a good read for people of Polishorigin like myself, as well as for those interested in how people survivein great adversity.
