Read an Excerpt

Chapter One

The morning it happened -- the end of my lovely world -- I did not water the lilac bush outside my father's study.

The time was June 1941 and the place was Vilna, a city in the northeastern corner of Poland. And I was ten years old and took it quite for granted that all over the globe people tended their gardens on such a morning as this. Wars and bombs stopped at the garden gates, happened on the far side of garden walls.

Our garden was the center of my world, the place above all others where I wished to remain forever. The house we lived in was built around this garden, its red tiled roof slanting toward it. It was a very large and dignified house with a white plaster facade. The people who lived in it were my people, my parents, my paternal grandparents, my aunts and my uncles and my cousins. My grandfather owned the house, my grandmother ruled the house; they lived rather majestically in their own apartment, and the rest of us lived in six separate apartments. Separate, but not exactly private. There were no locked doors: people were always rushing in and out of each other's apartments to borrow things, to gossip, to boast a bit or complain a bit, or to tell the latest family joke. It was a great, exuberant, busy, loving family, and heaven for an only child. Behind the windows looking out on our garden there were no strangers, no enemies, no hidden danger.

Beyond the garden, beginning with the tree-lined avenue we lived on, was Vilna, my city. For the best view of Vilna one went to the top of Castle Hill, and I was always asking Miss Rachel, my governess, to take me there. Built along the banks of the river Wilja in a basin of greenhills, Vilna has been called a woodland capital. It was a university town, a city of parks and white churches with gold and red towers built by Italian architects in an opulent baroque style, a city of lovely old houses hugging the hills and each other. It was a spirited and a gay city for a child to grow up in.

From this hilltop I could make out the place where my family's business took up half a block, the synagogue we attended, the road that led to the idyllic lake country where we had our summer house. When I stood on this hilltop everything was just as it should be in this best of all possible worlds, my world.

And, down to the smallest detail, I would not have had any of it changed. What I ate for breakfast on school mornings was one buttered roll -- a soft roll, not a hard roll -- and one cup of cocoa; any attempt to alter this menu I regarded as a plot to poison me.

I would sit down to this breakfast at a round table in the dining room with my young parents or my beloved Miss Rachel. My father -- called Tata, the Polish for papa -- was my most favorite person in the world, a secret I thought I ought to keep from Mama. Tata was gay and fun-loving and not only made jokes himself, but laughed at mine -- whether mine were funny or not.

Mama was gay, too, with an engaging talent for laughing over spilled milk, but at an early age I found out that she was a strong-minded lady who thought that one indulgent parent was quite enough for an only child. When I was four years old, she and I first locked horns. I had just begun to attend a progressive nursery school, and one morning, when I and a dozen or so other little girls were doing calisthenics on the floor, I made a shattering discovery. All legs had, been swung back over heads, all toes were touching the floor, when, rolling my eyes from side to side, I saw that all the panties thus displayed were silk-white, pink, blue, yellow silk, a gorgeous rainbow of silk panties, some even edged with lace -- except mine. Mine were white cotton, severely unadorned. I told Mama that this situation must be corrected immediately. She thought not. I said that if I could not wear silk panties I would not go to nursery school at all. Mama said: "Very well. Don't go." I didn't go; I stayed home until it was time for me to go to grade school when I was seven.

And when it came to choosing the school, Mama decided it was character-building for a rich child to go to a school where there were children from all economic brackets. I went to the Sophia Markovna Gurewitz School, where I learned Yiddish and was introduced to the literature and culture of my people.

I loved school and I loved the order of my life. My days were planned with the precision of a railroad schedule. On Mondays after school there were piano lessons; Tuesdays, dancing class; Wednesdays I went to the library and invariably argued with the librarian, who recommended children's books when I wanted grownup books, particularly mysteries and the more bloodcurdling the better. On Thursdays my cousins and I had calisthenics with a muscular lady who drilled us as if we were candidates for the Prussian Army, which made us explode into giggles. And on Fridays I was allowed to help Mama and the cook prepare the Sabbath meals -- braid the challah, the ritual bread, and chop the noodles. On Fridays, the seven kitchens of our house would send forth the marvelous smells of seven Sabbath meals all alike -- the same breads, sponge cakes, chickens, and chicken soup.

But in 1939 Hitler's armies marched on Poland.

When the first bombs fell over Vilna I was terrified, of course. But we were lucky; no bombs fell in our garden. Our garden was invulnerable.

A good read.

The Endless Steppe follows the story of a girl and her family being forced from Poland by Russia for being "political enemies," they are then shipped to Siberia and she and her family are forced to stay there for 5 years, trying to survive and make a living for themselves. The book is not a happy book, do not expect to be feeling happy when you are reading this book. The major message of the book seemed to be faith in humanity and that trust sometimes may be the only way you are going to get through the situation. The author definitely made me connect to the character and I could actually relate to her because she was socially ostracized just for where she lived and her appearance. This helped me to actually care about what happened to the character from trying to find new shoes to getting lost in a blizzard and almost dying. The author also managed to show the main character maturing as a person over the time of five years. I liked that the author cared about the side characters as well and gave them a believable personality and every character had their own unique human trait. Even nicer was the flow of the entire book, it was not a slog through any of it, you are not going to be impatient for the next decent piece of story. The story was not too fast as well and was not filled with so much action that it would make the conflict meaningless. This is the format that I believe that books should be made. I also like how the story supported the moral lesson that trust and connections to others will help you. I do however dislike the mild predictability of the book. The side characters almost die so often that you stop noticing it when they are in "danger." I wouldn't have a problem with this if this didn't happen so often. I also dislike how the author softens the conflict, for example, the main character's grandmother is forced to work in a coal mine yet the author dismisses it and the character only suffers from "being tired." Despite that fact I believe this book is a good read and I would recommend it to everyone.

I would reccomend it to everyone. It is so interesting. If you like reading these types of books then try "Annne Frank: Diary of a Young Girl"

Great Book!

I read this book in school and everyone loved it!My teacher said that when she was our age(7th grade) that she read this book. It really shows that you should be thankful for what you have. Esther's personality, way of thinking, and outlook on life changed completely throughout this book(positively). I would recommend this to anyone that loves to read about the past and the hardships they went through. The people were mistreated by the Russian Soldiers! Normally, books that teachers choose for you to read at school are really dumb. Not this one though. It was very good!

The Endless Steppe

The Endless Steppe by Esther Hautzig The novel, The Endless Steppe, is the story about a girl growing up in Siberia. It is about what she struggles through in the midst of World War II. Esther Rudomin had a somewhat luxurious life with her family. They all lived in a series of apartments in Vilna, Poland. Yet suddenly that life is shattered in the year of 1941. Russians invade Vilna extracting capitalists ¿enemies of the people¿ and exiling them to Siberia. Esther and her family find themselves thrown into a world that¿s bitter and cold. There are no hills or valleys. The land is flat. Esther is forced to work out in the hot sun, harvesting potatoes while the rest of her family work down in the gypsum mines. Russians bark orders, the nights are cold and this place seems like a completely different world to Esther. Yet when there finally seems to be hope, more and more obstacles come there way. Will Esther overcome those obstacles? Will they ever leave Siberia? From having no friends to having no food, this book brings you into Esther¿s world.

A Great Book For Young Adults

I thought the Endless Steppe was a very good book. It showed all the hardships and tragedies the Jews went through when they were exiled to the fierce steppes of Siberia. I found that I could relate to the story even more because the main girl in the story, Esther, was only a few years younger then me. I thought it was absolutely horrible the way they were treated while they were living there. They had to do many hard, exhausting, grueling things, and for that I have an even greater respect for those who endured it. This book was sad at many parts, but I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and would recommend it for any young adult.

One Great Book

Many people these days take for granted all of the luxuries that we have aquired. In this book these issues of luxuries are all taken away and people always find a way to go on with their lives. This novel really opened my eyes to what life was like, and how many hardships these jews actually had to endure. I don't know how Esther and her family managed to cope with some of the obsticals that were thrown at them. This novel was very powerful and moving. The message seemed to be so universal. I couldn't imagine someone my age going through this much suffering and pain at such a young age. It seemed as though you were there as you read. The story was so well written and just seemed to grab your attention as though you couldn't stop reading. I think that many children should definatly read this and I would recommend this book for anyone.

wonderful for children

I read this book as a very young girl living on an isolated farm. I found it captivating. Having lost everything myself at such a young age, it was the inspiration I needed in order to go on. A bit dramatic, but as a child I really got lost in her troubles and triumphs. It is well written and the message is universal. This should be in every child's library.

The Endless Steppe: surviving exile

The Endless Steppe proved how strong many Jews were during the Jewish holocaust. It opened my eyes to hardships Jews faced other than death itself. Chapter after chapter brought another difficulty Esther Rudomin and her family would have to break through: Esther's father being drafted to the army, the first Siberian snowfall, or trouble with a teacher at school, making it almost impossible to take a break without agonizing over what would happen next. Read it and find out for yourself how Esther survives her stay at the notorious Siberian Steppes.

A Great Book!

I am a 9th grader and I had to do a 5 themes of geography novel project. I chose The Endless Steppe as my novel to read, and I am so glad I chose this book. I thought this was a very well written book. The book covered all the themes of geography that I needed. I learned a lot about Siberia just from this book. The weather is unbelievable, I have no idea how they survived there. I feel that the book is at a reading level for 8th and 9th graders but it is a great book for anyone to read.I thought I was going to have a hard time trying to read it but instead, I could not peel my eyes away from it. I could not believe what Esther and her family had to go through, especially Esther at such a young age. I think her and her family had a lot of courage and strength to go on like they did. It was a very moving book. The words of the book seem to come right out of Esther's mouth as if I was talking to her about this whole situation in Siberia myself. I am so glad that I read this book because it really helped my project go alot smoother then what I expected. I thought it was a great book and I would deffinately recommend it to anyone.

I am in 7th grade and I am almost to the end of this book. I guess it is okay. It really describes feelings and it gives good detail. The chapters are long and it makes me not want to sit down and read it, but it gives me feelings like sadness and happiness in some ways.
