The Endless Steppe: Growing Up In Siberia

In June 1942, the Rudomin family is arrested by the Russians. They are "capitalists — enemies of the people." Forced from their home and friends in Vilna, Poland, they are herded into crowded cattle cars. Their destination: the endless steppe of Siberia, where they will be detained in a forced labor camp. It's a particular shock for Esther, who is used to being the comparatively pampered only child in a wealthy family.

For five years, Ester and her family live in exile, weeding potato fields and working in the mines, struggling for enough food and clothing to stay alive. Only the strength of family sustains them and gives them hope for the future — and Esther finds unexpected wellsprings of strength and self-reliance within herself. Based on the real life story of author Esther Hautzig's experiences in exile, this powerful novel introduces readers to an important, yet little-known chapter of Soviet history.
