Images are from the project titled "Forgotten Stories," the documentary series that focused on the Poles deported to Siberia in 1940.
The first major deportation took place on the 10th of February, 1940. Weronika and her family were deported to the East during the first wave from the night of 9/10 of February 1940. Many of the deportees, due to the harsh conditions and inhumane treatment by the Soviet authorities, did not survive the journey.
