In reading about Soviet gulags during World War II, I learned that many Polish people in the Eastern part of the country were shipped to these work camps. When the German army attacked the Soviets, the Polish prisoners of war were released. They fled south and ended up in Iraq and other countries of the Middle East. The city of Isfahan became a refuge for children who had lost their parents to the grueling conditions.
This is a gorgeous book filled with portraits of Polish refugees matched with snippets from memoirs of survivors. It reminded me a bit like a historical Humans of New York volume, but with more formal settings.
It's written in both English and Arabic, and I dove in, turning pages like I would any other English book (spine to the left, turning the right hand pages.) When I finished, I realized that since it was an Arabic-speaking author, that the intent was to read in the opposite direction (spine to the right, turning the left hand pages.) That was how the pages were numbered. So I reread it following the intent of the author. The text is the same either way, but the photos connected to the text better in the second way.
