This true story is based on the testament and experience of a family who, having been caught up in the outbreak of the Second World War in Poland, were deported by the Soviets to the frozen wastelands of Russia's Siberian Gulag labour camps, where they endured unimaginable danger, abuse and deprivation. This was the holocaust perpetrated by Russia, unpublicised and forgotten. The family suffered with courage and determination, using their initiative and resourcefulness to cope with all the obstacles and challenges which they faced to merely exist and survive on a daily basis.
