About this listen

"When I was arrested, my whole world crumbled. I knew that leaders of political parties had been arrested and never heard from again. My only chance at survival was to find a way to escape from the jail."

Orphaned in Poland at the age of 13, Tadeusz "Tad" Haska survived World War II on the run, narrowly evading the Nazis every step of the way. After the war, he daringly escaped jail from the Soviet Secret Police, fled to Sweden, and launched an elaborate plan to smuggle his wife in a coffin on an all-male naval ship.

Discover how Tad's knowledge of nine languages helped him survive in the face of unspeakable adversity.

I bought this because I love languages and am learning polish. I listened because the story is wonderful. It should be a film

The sheer resilience and determination described is worth the listen We have easy lives
