Living evidence of the Kem Gulag crossing point: memoirs from prisoners from the 1930s and 1940s, archival documents and letters. The real stories of Nikolai Zabolotsky, E. H. Sheck and Olga Adamova-Sliosberg about their transfer to Solovki and Kolyma include details of daily life, forced labour and resistance through creativity. These stories are based on materials from the Sakharov Centre and the book "The Yenisei Germans: Family Stories"
