Biografía breve
According to The New York Times, Dr. Janusz Bardach was born in Odessa, Ukraine, and moved with his family to Poland in 1920. In 1940, during World War II, he had an accident with the Soviet tank he was driving and was sentenced to 10 years hard labor in the Russian gulag. After his release, he studied medicine in Moscow and returned to Poland, heading up an early program in plastic surgery there. He emigrated to the USA in 1972 and the next year became chairman of the Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics in Iowa City. He also held other posts, administrative and teaching, at the university's Medical College before retiring in 1991. He described his prison camp experiences in the memoir Man Is Wolf to Man: Surviving the Gulag (1998), written with Kathleen Gleeson.

I really liked this memoir of the gulag, but found myself projecting survivor's guilt-- how did this guy survive such awfulness intact with all the suffering going on around him? I struggled with being angry with him for being so lucky and feeling guilty for that feeling. Weird.

A harrowing story of a young man's flight from his native Poland, induction in the Red Army, and years of survival in the Soviet prison camps throughout World War Two. It is a marvel that Bardach was able to survive at all much less provide introspection of the human capacity to endure punishment, harsh environments, and each other. The book did not provide as much historical context as I was hoping for, however truly provided an indepth look at one man's attempt to endure. Bardach offers a sensitive description of his fellow prisoners, captors, and his experience through the Soviet Prison system. While many times wondering if his fate could become any worse, the next page proved in fact it could, which makes the book an intense read, I find Man is Wolf to Man very worthwhile and enjoyable.… (más)
