"The terrified yell of my comrades makes me stop. I drop the
potatoes into the grass and turn around. He has pulled out the
pistol and is taking aim. Slowly I come back." Surviving the Gulag
is the first-person account of a resourceful woman who survived
five grueling years in Russian prison camps: starved, traumatized,
and worked nearly to death. A story like Ilse Johansen's is rarely
told-of a woman caught in the web of fascism and communism at the
end of the Second World War and beginning of the Cold War. The
candid story of her time as a prisoner, written soon after her
release, provides startling insight into the ordeal of a German
female prisoner under Soviet rule. Readers of memoir and history,
and students of feminism and war studies, will learn more about
women's experience of the Soviet gulag through the eyes of Ilse
Johansen.
