Description

Krystyna's Story by Halina Ogonowska-Coates. From the Series of New Zealand Women's Lives. 'Krystyna is brought up on a farm in eastern Poland - before the Second World War tears her life, her family and her country apart. Having survived forced deportation to the Soviet Union and several years in a Siberian labour camp, she becomes one of the 'Polish children' brought to New Zealand by the Fraser government. She eventually marries a New Zealander and has looking out at a very different world at the end of her life, she can never forget the horrors she knew in her youth. 'Krystyna' is constructed from oral she is one or all of the women that author Halina Ogonowska-Coates interviewed - women who were among the 'Polish children', girls who grew up into New Zealand women but who always retained their memories of a Polish childhood and a European war.' The book is well read with creasing of the covers and light stains but it remains tight and bright.
