A CHILDHOOD IN GALICIA: 1921 - 1941 Roman is a boy growing up in Poland. His fears, dreams and, at times, absurd childhood schemes all happen within a framework of age-old traditions, local community, family and friends and, eventually, the confusion and uncertainty of war. Germany invades from the west...three weeks later, Russian trucks and soldiers invade from the east. These memoirs follow Roman until he turns twenty years old and, held back from the army by an earlier injury, is assigned to be a schoolteacher in a remote mountain village.
