Author talk: No Heil Hitler

Join award-winning author Jeff Steel (National Seniors Literary Prize and the Philpott Prize) as he shares the remarkable true story of Paul Cieslar.

As a young schoolboy in Poland, Paul witnessed the Nazi invasion of his homeland. When his family refuses to say 'Heil Hitler', they come under the scrutiny of the Gestapo.

Fleeing to the remote high country, Paul lived as a shepherd, isolated from the dangers of his village, yet facing new and unexpected hardships.

This is a story of survival, resilience, and lost innocence – and the most astonishing part is that every word is true.
