Description:Based on three small diaries and ten years of painstaking research and writing, Zina’s Journey is a uniquely personal Ukrainian story of invasion, occupation, repression and displacement at the hands of Soviet and Nazi forces during the course of World War Two. Told by her granddaughter, Victoria Leonard, this timely historical novel holds more poignancy today than ever, given the current plight of many Ukrainians in the wake of the devastating Russian invasion. Readers of The Tattooist of Auschwitz and Cilka’s Journey will find Zina’s story engaging and insightful as she navigates life as a young girl through one of the most terrifying experiences in history.Zina’s Journey bears witness to the little-known horror of the Holodomor, the devastating man-made famine orchestrated by Stalin in the early 1930s, which, to this day, has left an indelible mark on the Ukrainian consciousness. Zina’s Journey also offers first-hand testimony as to the Nazi occupation of what was, arguably, the epicentre of Ukrainian industrialisation in the 1930s, the city of Zaporozhye. It also gives a voice to the millions of Ukrainians who were turned into Ostarbeiter (forced labourers) and seeks to pay homage to these often-overlooked victims of World War Two. Zina’s Journey is also a story of love and the impenetrable bond between mother and child. Both Zina and her mother vowed to never leave one another’s side, and for this to actually have happened is nothing short of a miracle.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
