About this ebook

Hanushka: Quest for Freedom is a true story that takes place during the time of Nazi and the Communist regimes in Poland. (Hanushka is a diminutive form of my formal name Halina.) The struggle for survival from an early age made me strong, determined, and even defiant when necessary. When I was a foreign language teacher at Reno high school, my students were always fascinated by my stories about the war. From these experiences, I know that young readers will enjoy the story and will gain insights into dignity, pride, respect, morality, desire for education, courage, loyalty and, above all, responsibility.

Nv * Local Review An intriguing tale of war, occupation, family ties, love and determination. It is a true story based on Halina Chanklers life behind the Iron Curtain, and her escape from it. The story moves from her childood in Poland, to adulthood in Germany and France, and describes her will and strength to survive, love and succeed at life. It is also a timely statement regarding tolerance, love of mankind forgiveness and finding peace in everyday encounters with all peoples. Barbara Lentz, MLS Library Manager Sparks Library / Sparks Nevada

*The following are 2 of 4 poems written by a highschool girl after reading "Hanushka". The Nightmare When you wake in lthe night. and everythings strange.. And you dont know the reason why everythings changed.. Youve heard all the stories of why this is so.. but deep in your heart, you dont really know. Its a nightmare youre living.. a nightmare called life.. and you dont know each day if you will survive. Julianne Burgarello Galena High School / Reno Nv Leaving One Life and Starting Another What could be worse than what it is now? What could this change make better? Im leaving behind all that i know My mother, my child, my brother. This world that i know is dark and tense.. each morning i wake to fear.. I cannot plan what must be done.. God, help me go on from here. Julianne Burgarello Galena High School / Reno,

Halina Chandler

Halina Chandler was born in Poland in 1926. She moved to America with her husband and two sons in 1960. Halina attended college at the University of Nevada, Reno and received a Bachelors degree in Arts and Science. Halina carried out her dream of being a teacher with a job at Reno High School teaching foreign languages. Halina told her stories of World War II to her students. Her students enjoyed the stories so much; they encouraged her to write Hanuska, Quest for Freedom. Halina taught at Reno High School for 15 years. Currently, Halina lives in Sparks, Nevada with her son, daughter-in-law and step-granddaughter. Hanuska, Quest for Freedom, her first novel, is based on her own life experiences.
