Growing Up in Siberia
The remarkable true story of a family during one of the bleakest periods in history, a story that "radiates optimism and the resilience of the human spirit" (Washington Post), is the focus of this narrative. In June 1941, the Rudomin family, accused of being capitalists and "enemies of the people," is arrested by the Russians and forcibly removed from their home and friends in Vilna, Poland. They are herded into crowded cattle cars, their destination: the endless steppe of Siberia.
For five years, Esther and her family endure life in exile, weeding potato fields, working in the mines, and struggling to stay alive. Yet, in the midst of such hardship and oppression, the strength and unity of their small family sustains them and gives them hope for the future.
The Endless Steppe: Growing Up in Siberia, the first winner of the Sydney Taylor Awards, celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2018. This powerful classic, with a new cover, captivates readers with its story of resilience and the triumph of the human spirit.
Esther Hautzig's work has been praised for its ability to "radiate optimism" and showcase the resilience of the human spirit, even in the face of immense adversity. The Rudomin family's journey, from their arrest and forced relocation to their fight for survival in the harsh Siberian landscape, is a testament to the enduring power of familial bonds and the human capacity for hope.
Through the eyes of young Esther, readers are transported to a world starkly different from their own, yet one that resonates with universal themes of love, perseverance, and the unbreakable spirit of the human condition. The Endless Steppe has captivated generations of readers, its timeless message of hope and resilience continuing to inspire and uplift.
As the 50th anniversary of this powerful classic approaches, the story of the Rudomin family's remarkable journey stands as a poignant reminder of the triumph of the human spirit, even in the darkest of times. The new cover of this beloved book invites a new generation of readers to discover the extraordinary tale of Esther and her family, a story that continues to resonate with its unwavering message of optimism and the enduring strength of the human spirit.
