Childhood deported to Siberia
It will soon be 75 years since the day that touched almost every Estonian family. From the day when nearly 22,000 Estonians were deported to a far, unknown land, where the temperature dropped to -54 degrees in winter and rose to +33 degrees in summer – that was Siberia in Russia. Sirje Tarve, who was deported to Siberia with her mother and sister at the age of four, remembers the deportation and life in Siberia.
