Opis

Drawing on interviews with survivors and their families, on German, French and Polish archives, and on documents held by WW2 resistance organisations, 'A Train in Winter' covers a harrowing part of our history but is, ultimately, a portrait of ordinary people, of bravery and endurance.

Recenzje
