Journey Into The Backwaters Of The Heart: Stories Of Women Who Resisted Stalin And Hitler

After World War II ended another war in Europe was just beginning. Soviet Security Forces dubbed this war the Invisible Front. In 1944 hundreds of thousands of Lithuanian men and women formed an armed resistance against their Soviet occupiers. Few have survived to tell their story. As a Fulbright scholar I spent four years in Lithuania interviewing women, and men, who fought in the armed resistance, survived exile to Siberia or Tajikistan, and Lithuanian Jewish Holocaust survivors. This book gives a voice to the voiceless. This book tells the story of a generation that was forced to chose between good and evil as two powerful forces collided on their land. This book tells the stories of a courageous people who were overlooked by history.
