Reader review from Amazon:
This is one of those books which for some reason never got the attention it deserved. It describes the suffering of Polish women during the war at the hands of the Nazis. Medical experimentation, torture and starvation are all borne with dignity and incredible courage. That the narrator survived at all is a miracle, that she survived to become a doctor of psychiatry and to write this eloquent memoir is an even greater miracle. All of us who take democracy and freedom for granted should read "And I Am Afraid of My Dreams" to learn that nightmares do happen in modern times, that the human spirit can survive them, and that the freedom we enjoy today in the western world was paid for by the blood and pain -- not only of brave U.S. soldiers -- but of resistance fighters like the author of this book, now so stangely forgotten by U.S. media.

Ex-library book.
