Germany invades from the west...two weeks later, Russian trucks and soldiers invade from the east. The Polish world is turned upside-down and shaken as the war begins.
This book is about a boy growing up in Poland, just before the beginning of WWII. His fears, dreams and, at times, absurd childhood adventures all happen within a framework of age-old tradition, local community, family and friends and, eventually, the confusion and uncertainty of war. This book will remind you of being a child again and, also, of how much the world has changed.
After becoming a school teacher, Roman is conscripted into the Russian Red Army and taken thousands of kilometres east into the Soviet Union - never to see his home or loved ones again. These unique childhood memoirs are the precursor to Roman's later wartime memoirs.
