Memories from a foreign country: growing up in Poland. 1936-1958

Memoir of a man who, as a child in Warsaw suffered many of the horrors of the Nazi occupation: the loss of his father, who never returned from forced labour; the daily fears of a child in hiding, whose mother was living on a false identity card; and the terrible carnage of the Warsaw Uprising of 1944. Unlike many others after the war, Danny and his mother chose to remain in Warsaw, where Danny completed a degree in English Literature at Warsaw University. While working at Radio Warsaw, Danny travelled abroad for the first time

and experienced the freedom of a non-communist society in England, which fuelled his later desire to come to Australia.
