Where the Devil Says Goodnight

by Aimee Lamb and Ron Shears

"A hard-to-believe true story"
“Where the devil says goodnight,” a name given to Siberia by the people of Poland, relates the horrific life of prisoners in a labor camp where winter chill temperatures reach 50 below. It is told through the experiences of Beata Karp, a young woman who lived to tell the tale. She was just turning 21 and her husband had already been tortured to death. After three years of Hell, a treaty released Polish prisoners. Beata, now in the Polish army, learned that her mother, oldest step-sister and her son were alive in a Siberian commune and returned with forged documents. She trekked over 20,000 freezing miles to find them and smuggle them out.
