Sommario/riassunto

So, it was January the 18 and it was the middle of the night. And it was very, very cold. Snow was - we went just about knee deep in snow - And we went on the road going toward Posen, capital of Wartegau. And so we said, ""Let's take that direction."" Just going by the moon and the stars. (Katja Enns)     Going by the Moon and the Stars tells the stories of two Russian Mennonite women who emigrated to Canada after fleeing from the Soviet Union during World War II.
