A harrowing memoir that recounts the author's 20-year imprisonment in Soviet labor camps during Stalin's regime. Štajner, an Austrian-born Croatian communist, was falsely accused of espionage and sent to the Gulag. The book vividly describes the brutal conditions, forced labor, and psychological torment endured by prisoners in Siberia.
Štajner's narrative also highlights the resilience and camaraderie among inmates, as well as his determination to survive and share the truth about the atrocities committed in the name of communism. The memoir serves as a powerful testament to human endurance and a critique of totalitarianism.
