Book excerpt: Sometimes your only weapon is the will to survive … Taken from their home and put to work in labour camps, Adam and his family doubt that they will ever make it out alive. Even if they were to flee, they might freeze to death, or starve, or the bears might get them! For the Polish refugees, the whole of the USSR becomes a prison from which there seems no escape. Thorough research and real-life family history combine in this powerful, compelling story of one family’s courageous struggle to survive the hardships of the Second World War during the rise of Hitler, the establishment of POW and refugee camps and the hostile temperatures of Russia in the dead of winter.
