Description:
In February 1941, Wanda Półtawska
was arrested by the Gestapo. She was nineteen years old. Charged with aiding
and abetting the resistance movement a heinous crime in Nazi-occupied Poland
she was sent to the notorious Ravensbrück concentration camp. And I Am
Afraid of My Dreams is Półtawska's account of the four years spent in the
camp, where the prospect of death, whether from starvation, exhaustion, or
summary execution, was a daily reality. Wanda was used as one of the camps
guinea pigs and became a victim of cruel medical experimentation by Nazi
doctors. Many of her friends died or were left with horrific physical and
psychological injuries as a result of these experiments. Wanda bravely faced
each day and pledged to become a doctor if she ever got out alive. Originally
written nearly fifty years ago, this powerful story is an enduring testament to
the courage of the human spirit.
