In 2005, Vera Pavlovna Frolova's autobiographical book "Look for Me in Russia" was published. Published in a modest edition of 500 copies, the book immediately became a bibliographic rarity: the solid volume presented to the attention of readers the diaries kept by young Vera in German captivity from 1942 to 1945.
"I was 17 years old when the suburb of Leningrad Strelna, where I was born and went to school, occupied by Nazi troops. And in the spring of 1942, the Nazis drove me and my mother to Germany, where we became "ostarbeiters", in other words "eastern slaves"..." - Vera Pavlovna wrote in the preface to the first edition, prefacing with this restrained and concise retelling of painfully terrible biographical facts, a human document of amazing power - the testimony of an eyewitness and participant in one of the most monstrous tragedies of the XX century.
"After our liberation by the Soviet troops in March 1945, we returned to our homeland. My only 'trophy' from Germany was then a tattered straw 'valise' with a bundle of diary entries..." Written partly on the paper packaging from German fertilizers, these notes were carefully kept by Vera Pavlovna all her life and were personally prepared by her for publication. The chronicle of four years of life in captivity made up the four parts of the book "Look for Me in Russia".
The present volume includes the first and second parts of Vera Pavlovna Frolova's diary, covering the events of 1942 and 1943.
