Description

A Boy in the Gulag by Jerzy Kmiecik. 'When the Nazis invaded Poland in September 1939, Jerzy Kmiecik, then sixteen. and his two brothers left their family home and attempted to flee to France. The boys evaded the Germans, but were caught and separated by the Red Army. Jerzy, accused of being a bourgeois capitalist spy, was imprisoned in horrifying inhuman conditions, first in Poland, then in Russia. Told by his captors that 'prison is the best university,' he soon developed the animal endurance and instinct necessary for survival in a children's working colony, then subsequently in a labour camp in Soviet Central Asia.'
