and at Walmart stores. ($25)
Often overlooked in accounts of World War II is the Soviet Union's quiet yet brutal campaign against Polish citizens, a campaign that included, we now know, war crimes for which the Soviet and Russian governments only recently admitted culpability. Standing in the shadow of the Holocaust, this episode of European history is often overlooked. Wesley Adamczyk's gripping memoir, When God Looked the Other Way, now gives voice to the hundreds of thousands of victims of Soviet barbarism.

Deportacje Obywateli Polskich (wersja polsko-rosyjska)",
Instytut Pamieci Narodowej, 2003
Hardcover, 17 cm x 24 cm
This publication contains 172 documents from NKVD and USRR authorities' archives. All documents are closely related to deportations carried out in 1940 in the region of Polish Eastern Borderland (Kresy Wschodnie) under Soviet occupation. Polish citizens suffered from massive deportations to Siberia and Kazakhstan. The work illustrates the tragic experiences of the displaced people. It also describes the persecution aimed at annihilation of particular social groups causing inhumane suffering of whole families. The original documents are not shown, but are transcribed with a Polish translation.

The Polish Deportees of World War II Recollections of Removal to the Soviet Union and Dispersal Throughout the World
Piotrowski, Tadeusz McFarland Publishing, 2004
ISBN 0-7864-1847-8
notes, bibliography, index, 256pp. illustrated case binding (7 x 10) 2004
Among the great tragedies that befell Poland during World War II was the forced deportation of its citizens by the Soviet Union during the first Soviet occupation of that country between 1939 and 1941. This is the story of that brutal Soviet ethnic cleansing campaign told in the words of some of the survivors. It is an unforgettable human drama of martyrdom in the Gulag. The many non-European countries that welcomed and extended aid to the exiles are also discussed.
