When my father was almost 5 years old, the Germans invaded Kiev during WWII. His family escaped by foot and train, always heading west to get away from the war. This is the story of his 7-year journey from Kiev to work camps to his immigration to the United States. It includes photos and a family recipe. Profits will be used to help Ukrainian refugees. Here's where you can buy the e-book.
