At the onset of the Second World War, Frank Pleszak's father
MikoAaj, aged nineteen, was forcibly removed from his family in
Poland by the Russian secret police and exiled to the harshest of
the Siberian labour camps, the dreaded Soviet gulags of Kolyma.
MikoAaj spoke very little about it. Only very occasionally would
his painful memories allow him to tell Frank and his siblings a
little snippet of information. After his father's death, Frank
became intrigued and began researching MikoAaj's early life. As he
discovered more and more, he became amazed and shocked at the
ordeals his father had endured. When Germany invaded Russia,
MikoAaj was freed from Kolyma but still had many trials yet to
face. MikoAaj survived gulags, torture, and the war, but was never
allowed to return home. Frank has followed his father's footsteps
on a journey of 40,000 kilometres, through places most of us have
never heard of, a journey through despair, fear, hope and
disappointment, and in these pages he recounts everything he
discovered along the way. This true story occurred during a largely
unknown and poorly documented period of modern history that has
been denied by successive Russian Governments and largely ignored
by western governments and media. Two Years in a Gulag provides a
valuable insight into not only MikoAaj's story but the story of a
whole Polish nation.
