Just sixteen days after Hitler invaded Poland from the west, the Russians rolled in from the east.
Whole communities had to abandon their homes and were packed into cattle trains heading into the depths of Russia. Some died along the way, many died in the labour camps where they were forced to work.
Jenni Murray investigates this forgotten odyssey of nearly two million Poles, with Sister Aniela Nowak, who was evacuated to Russia, at the age of nine, and Anita Prazmowska, a Senior Lecturer in international history, at the London School of Economics.
The film, 'Forgotten Odyssey' is being shown tonight on the 91Èȱ¬'s History Channel.
