When Hitler invades Poland in 1939, newlyweds Józef and Marysia Buko are catapulted into a sudden and heart-wrenching seven-year separation. Józef honors the soldier's code and is forced to fight battles in many foreign lands. Marysia remains in Warsaw to join in the underground resistance against Poland's Nazi occupiers. Each faces life-threatening situations demanding courage, faith, and resilience if the couple is ever to see each other again. The General's Barber is an incredible true story. We are used to learning Second World War stories related to pain, death and martyrology. The Buko's story is a story of hope, love and happiness. We can discover the fates of two people separated by war who survived it in spite of difficult circumstances. Karol Mazur, PhD, Head of Education Department, Warsaw Rising Museum Józef belonged to the Carpathian Brigade and fought in the Middle East, Libya, and Italy under the command of General Anders. As a Polish American Veteran, he was dedicated, honest, and kind...a true Polish patriot...Maria and Józef were close personal friends and are greatly missed. Vincent Knapczyk, National Commander of the Polish Army Veterans of America and Canada Many books have been written about the heroic actions following both attacks, but few of these works reveal the consequences of war on the daily lives of ordinary people. The General's Barber and the Seamstress gives a personal and intimate face to balance the military stories.
