About Door in the Nightmare

"De Roeck's life experiences have been intertwined with some of the most fascinating - and also the most horrifying - historical events of the twentieth century...She has seen it all, first hand. Dr. De Roeck's memoir makes for absorbing reading." - David N. Gibbs, Professor of History, University of Arizona "De Roeck is a refugee from that great world that Americans are taught not to understand... her life is full of lessons worth sharing... Americans who never budge to put an end to their leaders' endless verbal hostility against Russia and preparations for more and more war should take the opportunity to see the world through the eyes of a woman who has truly been there." - Diana Johnstone, author of Circle in the Darkness: Memoir of a World Watcher Galina De Roeck was born in Bihä, Yugoslavia in 1938 to Russian émigré parents and grew up in Belgrade, Germany, Morocco, and Australia.
