This autobiographical narrative provides a unique personal account
of the life of a Volga German under the Bolshevik Revolution and
subsequent famine, agricultural collectivization, and Stalinist
regime with its persecution of minorities including ethnic Germans
in the Soviet Union. The fact that its author, master miller
Heinrich Neuwirt (1902-1953), survived as long as he did is a
testimony to the resourcefulness, determination to survive, and
capacity to endure hardship he evinced as he was repeatedly
ensnared in Stalin's net, imprisoned, enslaved, and finally sent to
the Russian front in a penal army. Neuwirt only managed to produce
his account as a result of finding refuge in West Germany after the
war, and although the manuscript made it to Volga German relatives
in the United States, nothing came of publication efforts since it
was written in German. The value of this manuscript lies in its
first-person documentation of Volga German life under Stalin.
German professor and literary scholar Virginia L. Lewis has
rendered Neuwirt's original German account into faithful English
translation.
