What to do if your family is far from home, from everything familiar and your own, and before Christmas you do not even have a Christmas tree? You can dress up a branch of wormwood: cut a fringe from an old torn book, put on lambs, chicken, horses from the dough. It will turn out though black and white, but very beautiful! The five -year -old Marihe knows: there is a gift on a plate under such a Christmas tree in the morning, because she behaved almost well all year. Christmas always remains a holiday - even on an unfamiliar Siberian land, where Marihe and his family were sent with the outbreak of war. Children"s memory retains only fragmentary memories, only fragments of parental explanations about how and why this happened. The heavy tread of history is muffled, the girl barely hears it - and remembers the quiet moments of joy, moments of everyday grief, fragile images, at first glance say nothing about the era of the 1940s. Mari, her sisters Mina and Lily, their mother, aunt Juzefin with her son Theodore, friends and neighbors in Rivo Polye are Russian Germans. And although they, as dad explained to the girls, "good Germans", and not "fascists", they are prohibited from living in their native places: will they suddenly go over to the enemy? Whatever test for the family, good people help to cope - there are such in any area, in any people, at any time
