| Summary: | The official end of World War II did not mean the end of the torments inflicted on civilians. This book brings us vivid personal accounts of ordinary people in Poland, Poles, Germans, Jews, Ukrainians and others, caught up in the most violent war in history and its aftermath. No place experienced more intense suffering for a longer period of time than Poland, the first country to be invaded by both Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia and the last to be "liberated." This is the story of how people survived the flames of war, and began to clear the rubble and try to rebuild their lives, from January to December 1945. |
