When Poland was brutally attacked in 1939 by Germany from the west and Russia from the east, the Soviet government began ethnic cleansing of southeastern Poland, deporting the residents to Siberia. Christine's family was deported to Kazakhstan along with 250,000 Poles. The Polish government in exile, operating in Britain, formed the Polish Army. Therefore, soldiers and their families were evacuated from Siberia to British held colonies. This began a journey through Persia (now Iran), India, East Africa and England. Many labels were used to describe them - deportees, slave laborers, exiles, refugees, displaced persons immigrants. They happily answered to one - survivors. Christine wrote to tell her children and grandchildren about their heritage and the terrible events that brought them to the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-11225916\"\u003eKrystyna Bystryk Szczesny\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Outskirts Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/09\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.46d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781478780946\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1478780940\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-BIO\"\u003eBiography \u0026amp; Autobiography\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-BIO026000\"\u003ePersonal Memoirs\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-BIO\"\u003eBiography \u0026amp; Autobiography\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-BIO006000\"\u003eHistorical\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Outskirts Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44447113740525,"sku":"9781478780946","price":19.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_e97dfab8-8692-401f-b788-8de1ffbc5195.jpg?v=1700289481","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/through-continents-without-a-ticket-a-memoir-9781478780946","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
