SynopsisFor over sixty years, the Hoover Institution Library & Archives has preserved the testimonies of more than thirty thousand Polish victims of the Soviet gulag: first-person accounts representing the hundreds of thousands who were deported and sent to the gulag during World War II by the invading Soviets. Many did not survive. Now, many of these testimonies are collected for the first time in a scholarly English translation. These are accounts of Polish Jews who fled Nazi cruelty only to be subjugated by Soviet authorities. Released from the brutality of the gulag after the Sikorski-Maisky agreement, they escaped to the Middle East. I saw the Angel of Death allows today's readers to understand the horrific experiences of Polish Jews under the Nazi and Soviet occupations and in the Soviet camps. With remarkable detail, it tells the deeply human stories of men, women, and children suffering inhumane treatment, presenting a group portrait of resilience in the most harrowing of circumstances., During World War II, Soviet authorities deported several hundred thousand Polish citizens to the gulag; many died there. In their first English translation, the Hoover Institution Library & Archives presents firsthand accounts from more than 150 Polish Jewish survivors of occupation, deportation, and violence. These documents offer extraordinary information and insight on the activities of the Polish resistance movement, Jewish religious and community life, forced-labor conditions, the experiences of women and children, and more., During World War II, Soviet authorities deported several hundred thousand Polish citizens to the gulag; many died there. In their first English translation, the Hoover Institution Library & Archives presents firsthand accounts from more than 150 Polish Jewish survivors of occupation, deportation, and violence.
