Danuta

Growing Up Between Katyn and Auschwitz

by Maria Szonert Binienda

About The Book

  • The story of Danuta gives readers the human side of Poland’s fate in World War II. This book presents the war’s impact on the life of a young woman and her family while telling their stories in connection with the saga of the destruction of the independent Polish State and its people’s resistance to German and Soviet extermination operations.
    The joint German and Russian aggression on Poland in 1939 was the reverberation of what Poland’s neighbors from the West and East once decreed at the end of the eighteenth century and had been patronizing to the onset of the twentieth century. However, in the middle of the twentieth century, the same decision of destruction and extermination of the Polish nation and the Polish state was made again.
    A system must be created in which economic and military supremacy shall never lead to destruction and disregard of human rights, proclaimed the Polish Pope John Paul II on the 50th Anniversary of WWII.
