With Krystyna Poray Goddu. Krystyna (Krysia) Mihulka recounts her harrowing experiences during WWII. Nine-year-old Krysia was deported from southeastern Poland following the German and Soviet invasions and spent two years on a Soviet work farm in Kazakhstan, followed by several years in refugee camps in Iran and Rhodesia. Mihulka's warmth shines through, and her perspective offers a unique angle on the WWII narrative. Small black-and-white photos included.
