Chapter 11 ON THE EDGE BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH part 3

Eight-year old Niunia put to work in a labour camp in Stalin’s Siberia. An account of crimes now forgotten. A tale of courage, friendship and humanity in darkness. A true story, the forgotten odyssey of a Polish family uprooted and imprisoned. Who will save little Niunia? Will she ever see her home again? Written by Dr. Janina Czernik-Spyrkowa. Edited, translated and narrated by her daughter. Dedicated to Maria, the main heroine of this tale. This chronicle of memory and landscape is offered with the love of life which is a tribute to both Maria’s and Janina’s spirit. ©℗ Izabella Kay 2020
