About this audiobook
Stanislaus and Cecylia Witkowski were born and grew up in Poland in the early twenties, at a time of relative peace in that troubled country's history. They met, fell in love, and planned to spend the rest of their lives together. Fate stepped in when Poland was invaded by both Germany and Russia in September, 1939. Like so many, the young lovers were parted and the course of their lives changed forever.
True love sees hope in the bleakest of situations, recognises no boundaries and surmounts the insurmountable. Stan and Cecylia's story is played out against the background of the events of the war in Europe and, later, in Australia, as immigrants with no knowledge of the language nor the customs of their adopted country. Despite extreme difficulties and sometimes seemingly impossible odds, Stan and Cecylia remained firm in their resolve to stay together.
