Only the strength of family sustains them and gives them hope for their future. In the beginning of Endless Steppe, Russian soldiers arrested and forced Esther and her family from their home in Vilna, Poland. The Russian soldiers then put them on crowded cattle cars. Every so often, they would stop for some soup and fresh air. Sometimes they would go nights without food or drink. During this trip to Siberia they all get a lot skinnier, and don’t realize it until the trip is finally over. The train took two weeks to finally get to its destination. In the middle of Endless Steppe, Esther and her family lived in exile and this is the hardest situation they had to go through.
