This is an automatically translated description

This book, written in 1945, has been rejected by European publishers for decades, either as too anti-Russian or too anti-German. Today, the memoirs of the famous Polish activist, scholar, and Lviv resident Karolina Lyantskoronska (1898-2002) about the events of World War II sound particularly poignant and resonate with the military experience of Ukrainians in the twenty-first century.

Karolina Lianckoronska described what she saw with her own eyes and what she had to witness: the arrival of the first Soviets in Lviv in 1939, interrogations by the NKVD, escape to German-occupied Krakow, activities in the Polish resistance movement, her stay in the Stanisławów prison and confrontation with the head of the Stanisławów Gestapo, Krueger, a death sentence, imprisonment in Lviv and Berlin prisons, and more than two terrible years in Ravensbrück. But above all, these memoirs are about humanity in inhuman circumstances, about inner strength and dignity, and about the fact that war is not only about death, but also about the fierce love of life.
