This book attempts to put a human face on the horror's of war. It tells about something no documentary has ever really talked about: The survival of the women and their children in a destroyed country, with most able-bodied men gone. What happened when the Americans left and the Russians marched in and spread their reign of terror? This is the story of one woman, my mother, who was determined to save us from starvation and, ultimately, brought my sister and me to freedom. She is one of the millions of unsung heroes who never received a medal for bravery
