Description of  Hitler, Stalin, Mum and Dad A Family Memoir of Miraculous Survival [Audiobook]

Before long, the family was rounded up, robbed, humiliated, and sent to Bergen-Belsen. Daniel's father Ludwik was born in Lwow, the only child of a prosperous Jewish family. In 1939, after Hitler and Stalin carved up Poland, the family was rounded up by the communists and sent to do hard labour in a Siberian gulag. Working as slave labourers on a collective farm, his father survived the freezing winters in a tiny house they built from cow dung. Hitler, Stalin, Mum and Dad is a deeply moving, personal and at times horrifying memoir about his parents' experiences at the hands of the two genocidal dictators of the 20th century. It is a story of persecution and survival and the consequences of totalitarianism told with the almost unimaginable bravery of two ordinary families shining through.
