Animal lullabies Book

An excellent insight on the plight of Poles during WWII. The work follows a seven-year-old boy, Wes Adamczyk, whose father was murdered by the Soviets in the Katyn Massacre and the rest of his family deported to Kazakistan. The reader is taken directly into young Wes' world, and through his eyes witnesses the torture and killings that became so commonplace in everyday life. Very little is known about the horrors endured by Poles who found themselves under Soviet rule. Their story (as with other nations that fell under Stalin's boot) must be told and retold and never forgotten.

This must have been extremely painful for Wes to relive such a horrific time and to put it into words.
