9781543919868. Pre-Owned: Good condition. Hard cover. Language: English. Pages: 204. Sewn binding. Cloth over boards. 204 p. This is the story of a man born in rural Poland in 1923. During his childhood, the world changed for his country. In September, 1939, Germany invaded Poland, destroyed its weak armed forces and controlled the country for the next six years. With that invasion, the life of Wladyslaw (Wally) Pieszka was never the same.From being required to work at Auschwitz and being drafted into the German Army, to surviving the battle for Stalingrad in 1942 and escaping to England in 1943, his reasons for survival were either the Grace of God, pure luck, or the mere desire to live. His story is almost unbelievable but for the rare photographs and documents he and his mother were able to maintain. This is Wally's story.
