The author of the latest volume in the Memoirs and Testimonies series was a Polish Jew, a graduate of the University of Warsaw, and a resident of Warsaw. In the autumn of 1939, like thousands of other Jews, Paulina and her husband Artur fled eastward from Poland. They stayed for a longer period in \u0141uck. In June 1940, during the third mass deportation, they were deported to Siberia. They returned to Poland in late spring 1946.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paulina W\u0142odawer began writing her memoirs more than forty years after leaving Warsaw in 1939. By that time, she was already a distinguished biochemist and, since 1966, a professor. She was living in Sweden, where she had emigrated with her husband in 1968. She wrote her wartime memoirs for her son Alexander, who is today also a highly regarded scientist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the introduction to Where the World Ended<\/em>, Anna Py\u017cewska, a researcher in the Scientific Department of the Sybir Memorial Museum, writes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cInterestingly, while writing her memoirs, Paulina W\u0142odawer does not focus on the most tragic experiences, nor does she dwell on suffering or pathos in recounting her story. She writes in a factual and precise manner, though her memoirs also contain passages filled with deep emotion. Moreover, they include a sense of humor, and some fragments are even anecdotal. Written many years after the events described, her memoirs reveal a great distance from what Paulina W\u0142odawer, her husband, and their loved ones experienced during the Second World War. They reflect a kind of reflection that comes after years of experience, thought, observation of the world, and internal dialogue,\u201d she concludes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
