Riassunto

AMONG UNKNOWN HOSTAGES relates the experiences of American civilians who were rounded up by the Nazis and held in Internment Camps once the U.S. entered WWII. Among these thousands of men, women, and children, gentiles and Jews, whose stories have not yet been told was John Tomczyk, whose unusual adventures before and during internment provide a look into an American's life in occupied Poland. Photos are included which demonstrate the unconquerable spirit of American patriots while inside a Nazi prison. Accounts of John's relatives escaping a partitioned Poland, tragic stories of immigrant life in his native Chicago, and the hand fate dealt him after repatriation will show the reader a family's journey spanning a very turbulent century.
