Synopsis

A Story of Love, Hope and Survival during Soviet Imprisonment Maria and Jozef were two ordinary Polish-Catholic farmers who were thrown into a nightmarish world situation through no fault of their own. Germany and the Soviet Union formed an alliance that destroyed millions of lives and forced people into death camps or, in this couple's case, into Siberian slave labor camps. Their courage, resilience, and faith saved them, but not before years of unbelievable and indescribable terror, disease, and starvation took its toll. Tears of Hope is the factual account of the lives of two people who endured years of separation while in different prisons, and forced division from their children, families, and their beloved homeland. Maria and Josef's story begins in pre-World War II Poland and continues through their arrest, release from prison camps, service in the Polish Army, resettlement in displaced person camps in England, and finally their early years in America, their newly adopted country. Mr. and Mrs. Pawlukiewicz remain heroes to their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren because of what they endured throughout their lives and the examples they bequeathed to all who knew them of trust in God, love for family, and loyalty to their country.
