Publisher's Synopsis
Mi madre era de Mariúpol is an exceptional book where Wodin investigates the past of her Ukrainian mother, who grew up in the harbor city of Mariupol and was forcibly relocated in 1943 to Germany as an 'Eastern worker' along with her husband. This book describes in absorbing and at times harrowing detail a topic seen by many as a footnote to history, a grim appendix to the Holocaust: the use of forced labor in the Third Reich.
