The touching and award-winning autobiographical account by Esther Hautzig tells the story of Esther and her family, who at the beginning of World War II were deported to Siberia, where they remained for five years. Arrested at their home in Vilna, Poland, Esther, her parents, and her grandmother are locked in cattle cars and sent on a journey whose destination they do not know. Confined in Siberia, only strength and ingenuity will allow them not to succumb and overcome the most adverse conditions. Praised for the contagious optimism with which the young Esther remembers her terrible adventure, the work was nominated for the National Book Award in 1969 and received numerous awards.
Esther R. Hautzig was a Polish-born American writer, best known for her award-winning book The Endless Steppe (1968).
