Countless Thousands Mourn

The world in 1945 became a setting of confusion. So many families had lost their homes, nations, and dear ones. It had become a place of wanderers, refugees, of nomads searching for sanity. This book is about one such family who lived peacefully near the city of Lwow, in southeast Poland, till 1939, when the Nazis attacked from the West and the Soviets from the East. We meet them at the war's end in a Resettlement Camp in England.
The book describes their journey to safety through a Siberian Labour Camp, Kazakhstan, Iran and Lebanon. It also means arrests of their extended family transported to the steppes of Kazakhstan and one family member enslaved in the notorious concentration camp in Auschwitz. Finally, it tells of their whole village being attacked and destroyed by the UPA, a brutal Ukrainian nationalist organization. This experience was by no means unique. Countless people in Poland suffered deaths and arrests and were found in their resettlement camps at the war's end; they had lost their nation to The Soviet regime and could not go home.
