| Abstract (Estonian) | Eino Eiskop meenutab seda, kuidas ta üritas koos perekonnaga 1944. aastal läände põgeneda. Ta isa arreteeriti NKVD poolt 1944-1945 aasta talvel ning üritati värvata informaatoriks. Selle vältimiseks põgenes ta isa metsa ning hakkas ennast varjama. Eino Eiskop ei saanud enam kodus elada ning pidi kolima vanavanemate juurde Kadilasse, Vinni valda. Kirjeldab metsavendlust enda kodukohas ja inimeste vastumeelsust kolhooside vastu. Vestleb 1940. aastate teise poole mentaliteedist. Ta küüditati 1949. aasta märtsis. Räägib detailselt küüditamise protsessist ja kuidas ta aitas enda täditütrel põgeneda. Meenutab rongisõitu asumisele – mitte ühtegi surma aga üks sünd -, orjaturgu ja kontakti loomist inimestega, kes jäid Eestimaale. Vabanes 1957. aastal. |
