I am hoping this site will jog someones memory and contact me about my late mother Olga Dedina or Wilczynska from 45 Wolskiego Ulica - Schodnica - Drohobycz who like many ended up in a Russian Labour Camp, survived and died in 1986 a very sad woman not knowing if her family survived or not.
I have purchased the book and intend to read it very soon.

The president of Finland (Tarja Halonen) has presented in her secret speech a genocide of the Finns at Maarianhamina on April 21, 2001.
Halonen's speech violates the ROME STATUTE OF THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT, Article 6, Genocide
(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
Halonen's intent is to destroy a national and ethnical Finnish group by transferring Finnish children to another group.
Extreme nationalist writer Jörn Donner in newspaper "Johnny Kniga" 6 / 2003
thought that the Finnish language and its speakers should have be destructed
in the 19th century.
A genocide in today's Europe!

I haven't read the book yet. My great uncle remained in Western Urkraine in the early years of the 20th century, while his two brothers (one of whom was my grandfather) came to America. My great uncle was killed by Ukrainian partisans after WW II because he had housed members of the Polish military during WW II. His children were then deported to northern Poland. I don't fully understand why they were deported, but I believe it was so that the place where he lived (Krywe?) could be cleansed of Ukranians. Perhaps I am mistaken about this. I'm not sure what the rationale for deportation was, but I do know that they were deported.
Re: comments in this guest book about "bums" who live voluntarily on the street. Many homeless people suffer from serious mental illness. Some are addicted to one substance or another. Some have a "dual-diagnosis," which means they are both chemically depdendent and mentally ill.
No one in his right mind would voluntarily live on the street, with all its hardships and dangers. Homeless men often do not like to take their anti-psychotic medications because of the negative side-effects. Schizophrenia is a horrible disease that cuts men down in their prime. It affects them both physically and mentally.
But I digress. I'm contantly intrigued by issues and history of WW II and the Cold War, just as I am by the American Civil War.
I have been to Poland three times and hope to return someday. It is a wonderful country, despite all that it has been through.

I was delighted to come across this web site as my husband was one of the Belorussians to be deported from Naliboki to the Krasnoyarsk Kray together with his family. Although he could relate so much, these articles make the situation much clearer. He, incidentally, landed up in the Polish orphanges in Africa
before coming to the UK.

Very informative site. Both my parents enjoyed the Soviet's "hospitality" during the war, my father as a POW and my mother and her family as a "guest laborer". Sadly my mother lost her father in Russia and her sister in Persia. Miraculously, the rest of her family (mother, three sisters and a brother) all survived to live in England until 1958, when they immigrated to the US. Alas, my father's entire family disappeared. They originally lived in Lwow with the surname of ZUBKOW. Any information would be greatly appreciated. "Poland will NEVER disappear!!"

I am never suprized by human nature, but, unfortunatly, often repulsed by it. It must be remembered that Stalin was not a communist, did not lead a communist lifestyle and used the banner of communism to impliment his own version of it, he was just an implimentor. My girlfriend, who is Polish, said 'communism would have worked if it were not for the people' and I agree although I am from the west. Russia has invaded Poland over 12 times since 1750, that was not enough for Stalin, the book says it all. I read on this guestbook site that someone said the Poles 'deserved it', most things we 'deserve' are done by other people, not by ourselves, if you take the previous ethos then America 'deserved' September 11th. History is often sanitised when read in a book, but far harder to live through, and most humans want to forget the past and get on with the future, Stalin won 'Time' magazines 'Man of The Year' in 1942. It is not politics and guns that cause war and suffering, but human nature. The Poles now build churches and prey, my country on the other hand builds nuclear weapons, both constructed in the name of god so that our world leaders can justify their actions. If Stalin is publicised too much, someone will copy him, if he is forgotten, then so go the memory of millions. This book is greatly needed.

My grandparents, Antoni Kulik & Stanislawa Chiemelewska, were originally settlers on Osada Krechowiecka, District Rowne - before being deported to Russia on February 10th 1940.Unfortunately my grandmother later perished in Krasnavodsk although, thanks largely to her efforts, all her five children survived.
Thank you for helping me to understand my father's pain better.

I am still mystified by what communism is all about, or is it that complicated? Out there the info is contradictory. Was it to transform the world into a vast sewage system for sake of total de-industrialisation of man into a human?
After all the contradiction of the Soviet system is quite amazing, a system using technological industrial progress solely to destroy industry. What else was it? How tragic to have communism forced onto you that way. It's already horrible enough to see bums in the street voluntarily living that way, when you are forced to become a bum, it is quite something.
I remember a Russian friend of mine looking at the bums of Frankfurt. When I asked him how come the German socialist system cannot care for them, he answered almost admiratively of the bum: "no, no, they voluntarily live in the streets like that."
Tragic.

This book should be read in conjunction with Richard Lukas' Forgotten Holocaust. We must not forget that Poland suffered under both the German and Russian scumbags.
