Softcover. Condition: Good. After the 1939 Soviet and 1941 Nazi invasions, the people of Southeast Poland underwent a third and even more terrible ordeal when they were subjected to mass genocide by the Ukrainian Nationalists. Tens of thousands of Poles were tortured and murdered, not by foreign invaders, but by their fellow citizens--sometimes neighbors, relatives, and former friends. The children who survived them vividly remember these atrocities and now, many decades later, tell their tragic tales. These accounts, never before published in English, describe the brutal murders these children witnessed, their own miraculous survival, and the heroic rescues that saved them.

Tens of thousands of Poles were slain, slong with Jews, Czechs, Russians and even other Ukrainians. Sometimes the children escacped. They fled alone, unprotected, hunted like wild animals. Even as the nationalists tore these children from their families, other Ukrainians extended their hands in rescue. Every act of kindness came at great personal risk - yet the rescues continued. In this book the rescued children tell their stories - not with rancor or bitterness, but with hope that their words will further the cause of peace.
