Krysia: A Polish Girl's Stolen Childhood During World War II

The fate of families like Krysia’s is not a story that is often told, but it is a poignant, important one and this book helps bring it to light. She relates the events that happened to her in a simple, direct, easy to understand narrative style.

Krysia: A Polish Girl’s Stolen Childhood during World War II is about Mihulka’s strikingly sweet memories of the years before the war; of her family’s years of forced labor on a kolkhoz, or collective farm, in a remote part of Kazakhstan; and of numerous hardships before they somehow escaped to Africa to wait out the end of the war.God rest her soul. I knew Krysia in London in the 70's when she was working with the Kinks and later recording her solo album,and she had the spirit, courage and intellect to match her beautiful singing.

That journey from the birth of his son in the First Quartet to the demise of the human race in No. 15 with everything in-between – wives and friends and enemies, even his own epitaph – it’s just incredible,” says Cassidy.In the 1970s and 1980s figures from the Commedia dell'arte, the cabaret and the circus were her favourite motifs, revealing deep reflection, rebellion, elements of the grotesque and of tragic farce.
