Description
Stolen Childhood is a powerful and moving account of the experiences of 380,000 Polish children who were forcibly deported to Asiatic Russia in 1939. Lucjan Krolikowski, a young seminarian who was also deported, shares his own story of survival and the suffering of his fellow Poles. Krolikowski's journey from deportation to freedom, and his subsequent work with the Polish orphans he met in East Africa, is a testament to the enduring power of human resilience and compassion. This book is a personal and historical record of one man's experiences, and a cautionary tale for those who value the importance of protecting the rights and dignity of children. Written by Krolikowski as a tribute to the children he helped, Stolen Childhood is a thought-provoking and deeply moving account of one of the most tragic episodes of the 20th century.
