Father's Letters from Siberian Prison This is an edited collection of letters from prison written by Ferenc Roth a Hungarian citizen who went to Russia in 1931 to work on contract, building a lumber mill in Bobruysk, Belarus. In 1938 he was arrested by Stalin's regime and sent to Siberia. He spent 12 years there, waiting for release and clearing of his name. During this time he continuously wrote letters to his family describing his ordeals and expressing hopes for a imminent return home. These precious letters are all that remained of him, because he never returned from Siberian prison. Vladimir Rott, his son who never saw his father after the age of 3 years old, has translated these letters and edited them for publication in 2007. These letters were published in Russian, then Hungarian and English. Father's Letters from Siberian Prison is a part of this larger biography of Vladimir Rott, Joy from Sadness (Garadna - Miskolc - Bobruysk - Tomsk - Toglyatti - Toronto). Currently available in Russian, English & Hungarian languages. In Defiance of Fate |
