Title: 'Józefa's Letters'
Author: Michael Daniel Sagatis, (UK)

In April 1940, Józefa Bujdo was arrested by the Soviet state police (NKVD) and deported to Aktyubinsk in present day Kazakhstan. During her exile Józefa wrote to her children a collection of letters, which would eventually be found 75 years later, 5000 kms from their point of origin. An international team of translators have decoded Józefa’s last thoughts and words to reveal a compelling, hand written account of living conditions under the repressive policies of the Soviet totalitarian regime.
