Correct answer: B. 'Lietuviai prie Laptevų jūros' (Lithuanians by the Laptev Sea)
- Step 1: Dalia Grinkevičiūtė was deported at age 14 in 1941 to Trofimovsk on the Laptev Sea; her buried memoirs became an international testimony of the Gulag. Answer: 'Lietuviai prie Laptevų jūros' (Lithuanians by the Laptev Sea). Why not the others: Dievų miškas is by Sruoga about Stutthof, while the other titles are fictional variants.
