Its True

Rating: Null/10 (13 April 2011)

My fathers family were imprisoned in a gulag in Siberia.They were taken from Poland to be used as slaves cutting timber for coal mines. I had an Aunty but she died of the cold. Dad said that if you did not keep shuffling your feet you would freeze to the ground! They survived by eating the nestling crows that came down with the trees and any thing else they could find. The family was released when the USSR entered the war. They too came back by way of India. Meanwhile the Father was fighting with the Polish resistance and the family were finally reunited four years later after the war.(material for a film?) I could not bring myself to see the film but it is I believe essentially true.
