Looking for stories from a teen / child point of view about exile and/or famine

[Laura Kline]

Dear Jolanta,

I would suggest "The Endless Steppe" by Esther R. Hautzig - the story of a
Polish girl and her family exiled to the Soviet Union. 

Best,

Laura

about exile and/or famine

 

Dear Slavists,

 

I'm trying to help my son research moral themes discussed in The Hunger
Games and I'm looking for books, stories, movies, or documentaries about the
experiences of families in forced labor / exile in the Soviet Union and
during man-made famines. I would prefer to give him narratives from a teen's
or a child's point of view (similar to Breaking Stalin's Nose), but he might
be able to get through a general historical overview as well. I'd be
grateful for any suggestions.

 

Jolanta Davis
