Janina Chung

Janina Stankiewicz Chung was born in Belarus in 1938, and came to the United States with her family through the Displaced Persons Resettlement Program in 1951.

Far East Of The Sun, her first novel, explores another side of World War II, that of the displaced person. Janina and her family endured thirteen years of life under Communist oppression in Russia, forced relocation to Hitler’s Germany and its hellish concentration camps, and the confusion of postwar displaced persons camps.

As a mother of four, with four grandchildren and six great-grandchildren, Janina thanks “God everyday for my mother and father. They had the vision and endurance to bring us to freedom and opportunity that my family and my sibling's families now enjoy.”
