This is a story of how one young man managed to stay alive in Poland during WW2, escape the Nazis, and manage to build a wonderful life despite all that he went thru as a young man. Today's youth (even those in my generation) would benefit from reading Tad's story. His granddaughter wrote this book using stories that he told her, a memoir he started and never finished as well as recordings her grandfather had made. What a tribute to this amazing man! 4⭐

I chose to read this book because, being a linguist and a translator, I was intrigued by the title and the synopsis.
It’s a wonderful, suspenseful and moving story of surviving first the Nazis and then the secret Soviet police, and how languages (the protagonist spoke 9 languages!) open up new worlds and possibilities. Every language can help you create a new life.

Highly recommended.
