A memoir of a child's forced relocation to Siberia under Stalin's Gulag system reveals the potential for true human kindness in the face of extraordinary hardship. In April of 1940, six-year-old Ida woke to the sound of pounding on her door. Soviet soldiers forcibly packed her and her mother onto a train with thousands of their neighbors and deported them to remote Siberia, leaving them stranded to survive the brutal winter in subhuman conditions. Looking back, Ida shares their struggles: foraging for food, trying to reunite with her imprisoned father, spending weeks in a desolate hospital with typhoid fever, and adapting to shifts in the political climate to make the long journey home to Poland. Ida published this acclaimed memoir in her native Polish in 2011. Here, Ida's granddaughter, Isabella Skrypczak, translates her babcia's words and provides additional context—including describing the remarkable life Ida has gone on to live as a pioneering doctor. In the vein of Anne Frank's The Diary of a Young Girl, A Polish Girl in Siberia: Surviving and Transcending Exile (Disruption Books, 2026) chronicles Ida's experiences on a lesser-known front of the Second World War. Together, Ida and Isabella reflect on how every small act of kindness contributed to Ida's liberation from exile and ability to build a life and a family. Her story celebrates the capacity of the human spirit to not only survive trauma but thrive beyond it.Ida Kinalska-Pietruska survived childhood exile to Siberia during the Soviet Union's World War II assault on Poland. When she returned to Poland as a teen, she began studying medicine. A pioneering endocrinologist, she founded the School of Endocrinology and Diabetology in Białystok and led the region's first endocrinology clinic for twenty years. Ida has authored more than four hundred publications, mentored countless other doctors, and collaborated across the international medical community, including using her research to make widely known the Chernobyl disaster's effects on people's endocrinological health. She has been honored with the Order Odrodzenia Polski, Poland's second-highest civilian state award, and two Doctor Honoris Causa titles, reflecting her resilience, brilliance, and global impact on science and humanity.Isabella Skrypczak is an author, intuitive healer, and former HR professional in Big Tech whose work bridges the seen and unseen. Born to Polish immigrants and raised in Houston, Texas, she spent every summer with her grandmother in Poland. When her grandmother's memoir gained national attention in Polish media, Iza felt called to translate it into English—an act of love, remembrance, and advocacy. As war returned to Eastern Europe, she recognized the urgency in sharing this history with the Western world. She lives in Austin, Texas, with her daughter, Kamila.Stephen Satkiewicz is an independent scholar with research areas spanning Civilizational Sciences, Social Complexity, Big History, Historical Sociology, Military History, War Studies, International Relations, Geopolitics, and Russian and East European history.

Polish woman Julia Wandelt believes she could be the infamous missing toddler now young adult, Madeleine McCann. We speak to her rep, Persian Medium Dr. Fia Johansson, as we all anxiously await the results of a DNA test. But who is Julia Wandelt? And why won't her mother agree to a DNA test first? Something doesn't seem right to us. Either way, it breaks us to know that the McCann family will be hurt again, one way or another. You heard it on "Lauren Interviews"** first. **interview audio has a bit of an echo as we did this on the fly, without our regular gear**https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2023/02/21/julia-wandelt-who-claims-to-be-madeleine-mccann-goes-by-three-different-names/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

La política, la polaca para el populacho, es ese tema del que desde siempre sabes que es mala idea comenzar a hablar. Quisimos correr el riesgo en esta ocasión y, sin miedo a que cierres el episodio en los primeros minutos, un adulto repasó algunos puntos básicos del funcionamiento de los poderes que integran el gobierno de nuestro país (para que vivas la nostalgia de escuchar sobre eso en tus años de primaria). Si te atreves a seguir acompañándonos, podrás escuchar algunos de los traumas de más socorridos por los latinoamericanos en materia de política, mezclados con plática conspiranóica globalifóbica y pláticas "de señor" comunes en torno a este tema. En esta ocasión no hay respuestas ni soluciones. Solo sangre y destrucción. También, un improvisado señala sin miedo que fue AMLOver... pero que un día, todo cambió.
