Description

He moved his hand slowly and took a revolver from his inside pocket. Mother, who was holding my little sister in her arms, screamed. I started to cry, and Anatoly, no understanding what was happening, also screamed from fear. Pointing the gun at Father, he ordered him to get out of the house, but Father stood tall and noble, and remained dignified in the face of this cruel threat. He then looked at us, made the sign of the cross, and went outside. Mother screamed again, but her screams were lost in the wailing of the wind. There was nowhere we could go, so she grabbed us and fell to her knees in front of the icons in the corner of the room.

In this autobiography, the daughter of a persecuted Orthodox priest relives the Holodomor - death by starvation in which Stalin claims as many as 10 million lives in 1930s Ukraine. Vera Smereka's nightmare continues in World War II when she is deported to Berlin to become a Nazi slave in Hitler's Ostarbeiter programme. This is European history as told by a survivor who finally finds her freedom in the City of Bradford, England.
