"Bit by bit, the ravages of age are eroding Marina's grip on the everyday. An elderly Russian woman now living in America, she cannot hold on to fresh memories?the details of her grown children's lives, the approaching wedding of her grandchild?yet her distant past is miraculously preserved in her mind's eye.Vivid images of her youth in war-torn Leningrad arise unbidden, carrying her back to the terrible fall of 1941, when she was a tour guide at the Hermitage Museum and the German army's approach signaled the beginning of what would be a long, torturous siege on the city. As the people braved starvation, bitter cold, and a relentless German onslaught, Marina joined other staff members in removing the museum's priceless masterpieces for safekeeping, leaving the frames hanging empty on the walls to symbolize the artworks' eventual return. As the Luftwaffe's bombs pounded the proud, stricken city, Marina built a personal Hermitage in her mind?a refuge that would stay buried deep within her, until she needed it once more. . . .Includes an excerpt from Debra Deans The Mirrored World."@en . . .

And while this elderly Russian woman cannot hold on to fresh memories, her distant past is preserved in vivid snapshots of her youth in war-torn Leningrad. In the autumn of 1941, Marina, then a guide at the Hermitage Museum, helped to take down the museum's masterpieces for safekeeping. To hold on to sanity as the Luftwaffe's bombs fell on the city, the young woman committed to memory these exquisite artworks of angels and serene madonnas. She used them to create a refuge to which she retreated to escape the world around her; a refuge that would stay buried deep within her, until she needed it once more."@en . . . . . . .
