Description: During the Wolrd War II Soviet authorities deported over one million Poles, many of them children, to various provinces of the Soviet Union. In 1941 the Polish government in exile in London received permission to organize military units among the Polish deportees and later to transfer Polish civilians to camps in the British-controlled Middle East. There the children were able to attend Polish-run schools. The 120 essays translated here were selected from compositions written by the students of these schools.
