Telesfor Sobierajski

About the Author

Telesfor Sobierajski is a Polish-American author whose poignant narratives draw from the harrowing experiences of displacement and resilience in the shadow of totalitarianism. Born in the turbulent years following World War II, Sobierajski's own journey from a young boy in war-torn Poland to a seeker of truth in the archives of Stalinist Russia informs his deeply personal storytelling. His debut memoir, Red Snow: A Young Pole's Epic Search for His Family in Stalinist Russia, chronicles the epic odyssey of a family's fragmentation under Soviet oppression, blending vivid historical detail with emotional introspection to illuminate the human cost of ideology. With a background in engineering and a lifelong passion for uncovering suppressed histories, Sobierajski brings authenticity and empathy to tales of survival, making him a compelling voice in contemporary historical literature.
