The book provides a picture of two young people, my parents, who struggled to survive and to protect their child, first at the beginning of the war in Poland, then in the Soviet Ukraine. The book describes my father’s imprisonment in a Soviet labor camp, my mother’s life with me in Central Asia, and in exile in Siberia. The book also provides a picture of life in Poland after the war, where my parents returned to find out that all of their siblings and other relatives had perished in the holocaust.
