520    "In 1941, when Germany turned against the USSR, tens of 
       thousands of Poles--men, women, and children who were 
       starving, sickly, and impoverished--were released from 
       Soviet prison camps and allowed to join the Polish army 
       being formed in the south of Russia. One of the survivors 
       who made the difficult winter journey was the painter and 
       reserve officer Józef Czapski. General Anders, the army's 
       commander in chief, assigned Czapski the task of receiving
       the Poles arriving for military training; gathering 
       accounts of what their fates had been; organizing 
       education, culture, and news for the soldiers; and, most 
       important, investigating the disappearance of thousands of
       missing Polish officers. Blocked at every level by the 
       Soviet authorities, Czapski was unaware that in April 1940
       the officers had been shot dead in Katyn forest, a crime 
       for which Soviet Russia never accepted responsibility. 
       Czapski's account of the years following his release from 
       the camp, the formation of the Polish army, and its 
       arduous trek through Central Asia and the Middle East to 
       fight on the Italian front is rich in anecdotes about the 
       suffering of the Poles in the USSR, quotations from the 
       Polish poetry that sustained him and his companions, 
       encounters with literary figures (including Anna 
       Akhmatova), and philosophical thoughts about the 
       relationships between nationalities"--|cProvided by
