At the end of WW II, the allies handed over two million Russian, Ukrainian and Baltic nationals to the Soviets. It was part of a secret pact signed between Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin when the "big three" met in Crimea in February 1945 at the Yalta conference. Their agreement was kept undisclosed until the repatriated (those who had not been executed) were shipped to labour camps in Siberia. There they shared their story with fellow prisoner and Russian author Alexandr Solzhenitsyn, who revealed their tragic fate in The Gulag Archipelago.
"Yalta’s Last Secret" reopens this silent page in history to reveal a poignant human tale of courage and resistance, as it traces the major political events that took place between 1944 and 1947 from the point of view of these survivors whose fate was kept silent for so long.
