This book is a kind of report from Stalin's camps. Arrested as a 25-year-old girl for connections with the Polish underground, Barbara Skarga (1919–2009) went through all Soviet "re-education" stages: prison, labor camps, and exile. Although the events in the book are described from a distance of three decades, the author very vividly reproduces the details and plots from the life of prisoners, the images of people on this and the other side of the barbed wire, and her thoughts and feelings at the time. This is a difficult journey through memories, but the author writes: “There are things that are worth more than just being recorded. They should be shouted so loudly that everyone could hear that shout. Because they are still relevant and still like a stone on our fate."
The book was published with the support of the Polish Institute in Kyiv.
The translation was done with the support of the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage of Poland within the framework of the Gaude Polonia Scholarship Program.
It was first published in 1985. Translated from the 2008 edition.
