Jan Bober, before the war the district commander of the Political Police in Brzesko, was captured by the Soviets after the outbreak of World War II. He went through camps in Ostashkov and Gryazovets, escaping death thanks to a lucky coincidence. His memoirs, written after the war on the basis of notes taken in the camps, are an invaluable document of the era. Thanks to them, we can learn about the reality of life behind bars, living conditions, relations between prisoners and the brutality of the Soviet system.

This book is also a tribute to those who did not survive. Bober, thanks to correspondence with colleagues from the war period and access to source materials, was able to detail many facts and names, thus doing justice to the memory of those who died in Soviet camps. His report is a warning against totalitarianism and a reminder of the values that must be protected.
