“NO PLACE TO CALL HOME” BOOK SIGNING MJ’s Bookmark, 414 S. Main St, Auburn, IN (260-925-2330) will be hosting a book signing event for “No Place to Call Home” on Saturday, December 19, 2009, 12pm-2pm. “No Place to Call Home” recounts the gulag horrors of 89-year-old Auburn resident, Stanley ... (more)Kowalski. It is a story that is largely forgotten in most history books today. Each prison and gulag Stanley is sent is "no place to call home". Stanley Kowalski was born in Jazlowiec, Poland in 1920. At the age of 19, he was captured by the Soviets and incarcerated in numerous prisons before being sentenced to the Siberian gulag in the gold mines of Kolyma. Of the unknown thousands sent to the Siberian gulags, few would return, one of them being Stanley Kowalski. On Memorial Day, 2009, The National Military History Center in Auburn, Indiana hosted its annual Memorial Day Remembrance to honor all veterans. Featured this year was the presentation of the Siberian Cross to Stanley Kowalski. The Siberian Cross (also known as the Cross of the Deported) honors the survivors of the 1-2 million Polish citizens who were deported by Stalin during the Second World War. This is the second published book for Colorado author, Alexandra Everist. “A Katrina Moment” was published in 2008. It is a fictionalized account of two lovers who remain behind in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina. In the days following the storm, prejudice disappears as the two work hand-in-hand with other survivors to assist in relief efforts. Further information on both books may be found at www.alexandraeverist.com.
