About
On Valentine's Day 1945, two soldiers met in a small cafe in Lublin, Poland. She was a Polish Countess, fighting for her nation's doomed freedom. He was an escaped American P.O.W., searching for a U.S. mission. Neither spoke the other's language. Yet 11 days later they married, beginning a life of 64 years together. “The Countess and the P.O.W.” is a son's retelling of his parents' momentous meeting, a story that illuminates the indomitable Polish character and boundless American spirit.
