Ludmila: From Oppression to Freedom

AMIDST THE HORROR, SUNFLOWERS WILL TURN TOWARDS THE SUN… Beginning in Ukraine during Stalin’s rule, Ludmila’s story follows her being ripped from her quiet home at two years of age. After the loss of her parents and everything familiar to her, she is blended amongst the thousands suffering in starvation, and fighting for survival. At age ten, Ludmila is placed in a Russian Komsomol school and everything pertaining to her Ukrainian heritage becomes forbidden to mention. When Hitler’s army invades, Ludmila’s capture and transportation to a forced-labour camp in Germany leads to an unlikely love story, and the eventual birth of her firstborn son. Walk her journey through these emotional and inspiring pages to see Ludmila rise from oppression to freedom, from Ukraine and Germany and eventually to Australia. — ISBN13: 9781923171312
