Kiev to Lyon in Bloomington, MN

Nazi Germany took nineteen year old Galina Troianskaya from Kiev in 1941 to work in forced labour in a Krupp factory. There she endured hardship, witnessed brutality and suffering, found the courage to protest, fell in love, bore a child and heard the stories of others in the same plight. I was that child.
This book holds her story and those of her fellows - some of whom survived, some of whom tragically did not. They are as I heard them from her over the years, cast as a narrative told from her point of view.
