It is the authentic story of my brother-in-law a Polish officer of the reserve son of the composer and the well beloved conductor of the Warsaw Opera Emil Mlynarski captured at the end of the Polish-German Campaign in 1939 by the invading Red Army and detained in a Soviet camp for officers. Most of the inmates of these camps disappeared mysteriously and bodies of over 4000 of them were later found in the Katyn Woods near Smolensk. They were identified and it was established that the victims had been inmates of one camp only namely that of Kozyelsk Kozelsk. A similar fate befell officers in the two other camps most of whom disappeared without trace. Mlynarski was held at the camp of Starobyelsk and for reasons unknown with 78 other Polish officers was allowed to survive and to tell his story. It is a tragic one. First came the treacherous and brutal blow struck by the Red Army in the back of the retreating and unsuspecting Polish troops belonging to a country with whom the Soviet Union not only was not in a state of war but bound by a non-aggression pact. Then came the no less brutal manner by which the prisoners were driven into Central Russia first on foot later in box-cars more apt for transporting cattle than human beings. And finally the sojourn in the Starobyelsk Starobielsk Camp. The author's account of his ghastly ordeal is not only gripping but offers an incisive insight into the workings of the secret police known then as the NKVD which ran the camp. The way in which as one can assume the decision of the ultimate annihilation of the Polish prisoners of war was slowly maturing in Stalin's mind has the makings of a Greek tragedy of unsurpassed dimensions."

This proved to be our parting. For Providence chose to spare me only and to restore freedom to me alone." This book is the fulfilment of Mlynarski's promise to those friends. He was one of the 79 officers out of nearly 4000 whose life was spared by the NKVD when they liquidated the Starobyelsk "special" prisoner-of-war camp in 1940. Caught between the German and Red Armies at the beginning of the ww2 some Poles hoped against hope that the Red Army was crossing the border to fight side by side with them against the Germans. Reality brought an invaded Poland a defeated and imprisoned army and 3 special pow camps for the leaders of Polish society. In 1943 in the Katyn Woods the Germans dug up the corpses of the unlucky 4254 Poles from one of the special camps. The bodies of the "other 10000" from the other two camps have never been found. This is a tragic yet poetic story of a true patriot imbued with a deep love for human beings who also felt sympathy for the ordinary Russian people themselves victims of the inhuman Stalin regime. It is also one of the most important contributions to a chapter in history which has been shrouded in secrecy hidden behind an iron curtain of conspiracy. Bachman & Turner hardcover
