AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'This is the story of how a great European crime, the murderous ethnic program of the German Reich, cancelled out the sweet Polish childhood and adolescence of the child Halina Trachtenberg. Above all, the book fills out our knowledge of the huge injustice done to families like hers. It is wonderful she was able to put it down in a satisfying record.' (Publication summary)
