Perhaps his own story might be worth telling? \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1945, as a sixteen-year-old boy rescued from the ruins of Europe, he arrives at a Yorkshire farmhouse. Working on the farm for two years in the strange atmosphere of rural England immediately after World War II, he learns to deal with his memories of what happened to him and to his family and to trust, up to a point, those around him in a foreign country.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLondon in 1947 is stranger still. But the boy is lucky, as he has been since 1941, when marksmen tried to shoot him into a pit full of corpses in a Lithuanian forest. The year before, different executioners in a different forest further east had shot and killed his father.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThose who faced the worst atrocities of World War II, which were inflicted on people in the \"bloodlands\" of eastern Poland and western Russia, knew that there was little to choose between the two mighty machines, Nazi and Soviet.
