Stolen Childhood
Stolen Childhood is the story of what happened to some 380,000 Polish children who, with their families, were rounded up by Stalin's orders in 1939 and deported into Asiatic Russia. Lucjan Krolikowski, a young seminarian also deported there, shared and witnessed the suffering of his fellow Poles. Freed by an "amnesty," he joined the Polish Army, and when it moved to the Middle East, Lucjan resumed his theology studies, pronounced his vows, and became a chaplain to a Polish military hospital in Egypt. Reassigned to refugee camps in East Africa, Fr. Lucjan and the wandering Polish children met again in 1947 — a meeting that began a long and loving relationship. In 1949 when the Warsaw Communists claimed guardianship of the Polish orphans in Africa and demanded their repatriation, Fr. Lucjan was forced into a world of international intrigue. Called by the Communists "a kidnapper on an international scale," to his orphans, he was the good shepherd who led them to Canada, where he helped his charges overcome the theft of their childhood and become secure adults in a new world. Stolen Childhood is the book of memories he wrote for them, and a cautionary history for people of good will.
Tanzania, Journey to Republic
"Randal Sadleir's career mirrors the momentous period in the history of the British Empire and Commonwealth and of East Africa when Tanganyika was transformed into Tanzania." "Tanzania, Journey to Republic begins at the height of the Second World War, in Tanganyika - a former German colony and subsequently a League of Nations Mandate. It ends with Tanzania as an independent African state and Commonwealth member, led by Julius Nyerere, one of the most revered and charismatic African leaders. Sadleir's friendship with this legendary figure is a major feature of a career that included 30 years as Britain's last expatriate district officer." "Tanzania, Journey to Republic is a unique inside story of dedication to an African state at the end of Empire."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

War Through Children's Eyes
During the Wolrd War II Soviet authorities deported over one million Poles, many of them children, to various provinces of the Soviet Union. In 1941 the Polish government in exile in London received permission to organize military units among the Polish deportees and later to transfer Polish civilians to camps in the British-controlled Middle East. There the children were able to attend Polish-run schools. The 120 essays translated here were selected from compositions written by the students of these schools.
