"This is a true story of Tadek, a young farm boy living an ordinary yet happy life filled with family, friends, and hopes and dreams for a future. When war comes to Eastern Europe, his fate and that of his family takes a horrible turn, and they rely on their strength and will to carry them through oppression, brutality, and loss. Tadek is faced with his ensuing struggle to survive in slavery and an uncertain fate. The evil he encounters thrusts him into deep despair and hopelessness as he grows from a youth into a man, with a tenuous hold on his very existence. But when Tadek finds himself resurrected from the hell he has endured, he reclaims his lost freedom and pursues the building of a new life. Between Tyranny and Freedom demonstrates the evil that authoritarian and totalitarian governments inflict upon real families, real people; it also shows how living in freedom is the natural state for which man is intended, and to which man naturally gravitates. This true story, while occurring in a previous generation, has overtones to today's situation in Ukraine and elsewhere, including our own society"--
