Summary

During World War II, Soviet authorities deported several hundred thousand Polish citizens to the gulag; many died there. In their first English translation, the Hoover Institution Library & Archives presents firsthand accounts from more than 150 Polish Jewish survivors of occupation, deportation, and violence. These documents offer extraordinary information and insight on the activities of the Polish resistance movement, Jewish religious and community life, forced-labor conditions, the experiences of women and children, and more.
