The Augustow Roundup of July 1945: Accounts of the Brutal Soviet Repression of Polish Resistance - Paperback
by Teresa Kaczorowska (Author), Halina Koralewski (Translator), Bożena U. Zaremba (Editor)
In 1945, remnants of the Polish Home Army re-formed to counter brutal Soviet repressions. In July of that year, more than 7,000 HA freedom fighters were arrested in the northeastern Augustow region and held in barns, pigsties and warehouses where they were beaten and tortured. Two thousand of them were never seen again--their whereabouts remain a mystery. Seventy-five years later, their relatives still search for answers and the location of their mass burial. This book examines the fateful events of the Augustow Roundup (a.k.a. "little Katyn") through eyewitness testimonies.
