Lonek's journey

Description:

Lonek's Journey tells the gripping story of an 11-year-old Jewish boy's escape from Nazi-occupied Poland in 1939, and his subsequent deportation to a Siberian gulag. When a twist of fate frees him from the Russian slave labor camp, he begins a two-year odyssey over thousands of miles by land and sea, to find freedom in what was then Palestine. This little-known story of the rescue of almost 1000 Jewish children is a story that every one should know. Illustrated with maps and black and white photographs throughout.
