Wasyl Andreievych Kushnir was born in Ukraine in 1923, and was witness to the tragedies and horrors of the early years of collectivization under the Soviet regime in his homeland. This book attests to the struggle for survival under the harsh Soviet regime in Ukraine, the importance of family, and the endurance of the human spirit.
This account follows one man's journey through the 20th Century's Communist experiment in Soviet Ukraine, the Second World War, and the struggles and successes of immigrants in the United States in the second half of the century. It is a tale of war, murder, famine, suffering, danger, and, ultimately, happiness.
