Bisia & Isham: The Countess & the P.O.W.
On Valentine’s Day, 1945, two soldiers met in a small café in Lublin, Poland. She was a Polish countess fighting for her nation’s doomed freedom. He was an escaped American POW searching for a U.S. mission. Neither spoke the other’s language. Yet 11 days later, they married, beginning a life of 64 years together. BISIA & ISHAM is a son’s retelling of his parents’ momentous meeting, a story that illuminates the indomitable Polish character and boundless American spirit.
