Memories of Smoke and Ashes - A World War II Story by Andre Pohlman
Andre (Andrzej) Pohlman was born in pre-war Poland and today lives in Northern California (he has got his own website http://www.andrepohlman.com). Here is what he says about himself and his book:
I was born in Przemyśl and both my parents were from Lwów. As a child I experienced the Nazi occupation of Poland and the Red Army Siege and occupation of Budapest. My experiences and the tales my mother told me were part of my being. It was something so powerful that I could not forget it. Finally, encouraged by friends and family who know of my background I wrote a book: Memories of Smoke and Ashes. A World War II Story.
The book is written as a novel. Of course my own vivid recollections and my mother's tales are the backbone of the book. In fact the main character is based on my mother. I also try to keep the story within the historical context and time frame and use the actual names of historical figures.
The book is not in our library, but you can get one from Amazon.com.
