Two Years in a Gulag

At the onset of the Second World War, Frank Pleszak's father, aged nineteen, was deported from eastern Poland to the harsh Gulags of north-eastern Siberia. Freed when germany invaded Russia, he was never allowed to return home and eventually found his way to fight alongside the british army. After the war ended, he settled in England, completing a journey of over 40,000 kilometres. Like so many of his contemporaries, he spoke very little about it. After his father's death Frank bacame intrigued and started researching his early life. as he discovered more and more, Frank became amazed and shocked at the ordeals his father had been through. This true story occured during a largely unknown and poorly documented period of modern history that has been denied by successive Russian Governments and largely ignored by western governments and media.
