The daughter of a traditional Jewish family from Kovno, Gitta Langleben-Klibansky describes her prewar life, the period of Soviet occupation, the deportation of her entire family in June 1941, and the hardships they endured in Siberia. Tracing the stages of her wartime experience, from forced labor in southwestern Siberia to another deportation and a grueling journey to eastern Siberia, she portrays her struggle to endure these hardships and her efforts to sustain a large family, as her parents were no longer able to provide, under conditions of backbreaking labor and an unbearably harsh climate. As part of this journey, she met her future husband in Bykov Mys, a desolate peninsula on the shore of the Arctic Ocean, and there they were married in 1946. Gitta describes their lives in Vilna in Soviet Lithuania after they managed to secure their release and leave Siberia in 1956, and she also recounts her struggle with the Soviet authorities and their tireless efforts to immigrate to Israel, which they ultimately achieved in 1969.
