A Homeland Denied follows the horrific journey of Waclaw Kossakowski, a young Warsaw University student whose peaceful life was changed dramatically and with far reaching consequences that fateful day of 1st September, 1939.From imprisonment in the notorious Kozelsk prison to the forced labor camp in the Siberian Arctic Circle, the compelling story pulls the reader into a world of suffering and brutality it would be impossible to imagine. Forced to dig runways in temperatures as low as50oC while under constant threat from sadistic guards, it was an indescribable living hell with death the only companion. He endured and witnessed atrocities which haunted him for the rest of his life with so many friends murdered or frozen to death in the unforgiving cruelty of Siberia.But fate intervened and the icy wasteland was replaced by the blistering heat and dry deserts of the Middle East, where the student who had never picked up a gun was taught to fightin the Italian campaign, at Monte Cassino, Ancona and Bologna. Yet the intense desire to return to his homeland never left him and only memories of his idyllic life before the war sustained him when he sank to the lowest depths of despair.Waclaw could not know of the terrible suffering of his family or the sacrifices of his countrymen as they fought so desperately to keep Warsaw, only to be denied their homeland in the cruelest way imaginable. Although they were ultimately the victors, they lost everythingtheir home, their loves, their country and nothing was ever the same again. In a country governed by Communist Russia and controlled by their secret police, it was impossible to return under fear of imprisonment or death and no knowledge of the achievements and bravery of the Poles was allowed to be known. No one was safe under the Stalinist reign of terror. Everything was strictly censored or destroyed and with the passage of time few people were left alive to tell their story. It was only in 1989 that Poland truly broke free from the Russian yoke and its people gained the freedom they had fought so valiantly for.This dramatic and poignant story based on the memories of Waclaw Kossakowski is recounted in vivid detail and documents a tragic period in the history of the Polish people in Europe. His story demands to be told and ensures that many other unrecognized Poles will not be forgotten. 1944 Timeline - World War II Database : Your WW2 6 Jan 1944 The families of the men lost during the 1943 sinking of battleship Mutsu was finally notified; they were not informed that the ship had been destroyed in AXScom - Official Tickets and Your Source for Live The AXS Cookie Policy This website like most others uses cookies in order to give you a great online experience By continuing to use our website you accept to our Retired Site PBS Programs PBS If you are a teacher searching for educational material please visit PBS LearningMedia for a wide range of free digital resources spanning preschool through 12th grade Hollywood Reporter Entertainment News The Hollywood Reporter is your source for breaking news about Hollywood and entertainment including movies TV reviews and industry blogs CNNcom - Transcripts Return to Transcripts main page CNN LIVE EVENT/SPECIAL Note: This page is continually updated as new transcripts become available If you cannot find a specific Great football goalkeepers Goalkeepers are Different Gordon Banks Considered by many to be the greatest goalkeeper of all time Gordon Banks will forever be remembered for his save from Pele's header during the 1970 Military History Online Game Review: Afghanistan '11 by Brian Williams Afghanistan 11 is a turned-based strategy game in which the player assumes Pope Benedict XVI - Wikipedia Pope Benedict XVI (Latin: Benedictus XVI; Italian: Benedetto XVI; German: Benedikt XVI; born Joseph Aloisius Ratzinger; German pronunciation: [jozf Archives - Phillycom Archives and past articles from the Philadelphia Inquirer Philadelphia Daily News and Phillycom Rosja - rewolucja 1917 - niepodleglosc Polski 1918 - Lenin Masoneria Rosyjski wywiad wojskowy Lenin's Revolution 1917 - Polish independence in 1918 part 1 List of conspiracy theories - the largest of
