About this listen

In a forgotten chapter of history, 1.5 million Polish civilians - arbitrarily arrested by Stalin as enemies of the people following the Soviet invasion of Poland in September 1939 - were deported to slave-labor camps throughout the most inhospitable forests and steppes of the Soviet Union. The Ice Road is the gripping story of young Stefan Waydenfeld and his family, deported by cattle car in 1940 to the frozen wastes of the Russian arctic north.

The Ice Road - What a Journey not only for the author
but for the listener as well.
How Stefan and his family came through such a journey
is miraculous.
I liked narration to me he sounded like a scare 14 - 16 years old boy.

The title is slightly misleading. The Ice Road is a relatively small part of the story. This is a tale of hunger homelessness and more. It could have been shorter, some parts just seemed like filler.
