USA-s ilmunud ülevaade Siberisse küüditatud eesti laste saatusest. Illustreeritud fotodega.


In March of 1949, after the Second World War, the Soviets deported over 20,000 Estonians in cattle cars to Sbieria. «Crimes» of the fathers often included being successful farmers, businessmen, or educators. Family members were also deported into what the official documents called «perpetual exile».
Among these deportees were girls and boys, who even today remember well the deportation itself and their lives in the Siberian collective farms and work camps.

A few years ago a group of now retired men and women, all of whom had been sent to the Krasnoyarsk region of Siberia, decided to write their stories so that the world might remember what happened during that Stalinist time. This book presents their first-person accounts of exile in Siberia, as well as their stories of returning to Estonia to rebuild their personal and professional lives.
