This book documents the passage of the Polish refugees arriving in India from the USSR in 1942. Readers will get an authentic account of their tribulations through the first-person account of a young Polish orphan’s hair-raising journey to India and his experiences during the stay. Author Anuradha Bhattacharjee includes a historical perspective culled out from archival documents in India, the UK and Poland.
This is a unique mix of a diary, oral history and historical viewpoint placed adjacent to a compilation of archival personal photographs. The book beautifully brings out a little-known aspect of European exiles in India during the Second World War.
