The history of Eastern Europe leading up to and following WWII is very complicated. Based on author Donna Urbikas’ award-winning memoir, My Sister’s Mother: A Memoir of War, Exile, and Stalin’s Siberia, learn what is rarely presented in history classes and how regional and nationalistic ideologies influence current political events in Eastern Europe, specifically in Poland.
