Publisher's Synopsis
When I was a child, my parents and grandmother told me stories of their childhood and youth. Now, I regret that I didn't ask more questions or listened more carefully. Later, as a young mother, I read fiction to my sons when they were children. I also regret this because they know very little about their mother's life. I want to correct this now, and so the idea of a memoir was born. It is much more important for children to learn about their families' history than a story of some fictional character. I hope that you will find this book interesting and also that it will inspire you to write your own.
Memoir of a Childhood in Communist Poland is a story of a girl born after the Second World War in a small town of Cieszyn, Poland. It was a time of Soviet Union's control of the Polish government. LIfe was not easy but for the author, it was time of challenge and adventure. Her mother and father, having suffered during the war, were not the best of parents, but they were determined to improve the family's life.
