August 25, 2011 – New Castle, NH – The Mill Pond Book Club held a special meeting to discuss The Ice Road: An Epic Journey from the Stalinist Labor Camps to Freedom, by Stefan Waydenfeld. Eleven members and one guest were present to discuss the book with Alice Waydenfeld Faintich, the author’s daughter, who was in New Hampshire on a trip. 

The group had many questions about this virtually unknown piece of World War II history. They wanted Alice to show them her PowerPoint presentation about the book, which they found extremely interesting—especially those parts of the presentation that dealt with the historical context.
