Description

The story of Ann Lehtmets, co-written with her Australian son-in-law, Douglas Hoile, is an amazing true story of survival against all odds. This is a book that everyone should read. It is a reminder of the depths to which society can sink under authoritarian rule. It is also a reminder of the capacity of the human spirit to endure and overcome hardship, cruelty and extreme privation over many years and yet to emerge intact and rejoin society and family.

On the night of 14 June 1941, Ann and Elmar Lehtmets were forcibly removed from their home in the city of Rakvere, Estonia, and transported to Siberia.

Ann's husband, Elmar Lehtmets was a lawyer by profession, and editor-in-chief of Rakvere's principal newspaper at the time of the occupation, and a member of Estonia's democratic parliament. Ann was a commissioner of Girl Guides and active in local community service.

In 1959, when Ann was reunited with her daughter in Australia, she became one of a very few to survive this other holocaust and rejoin the western world.
