No

Dad refuses to be a Soviet spy and to sign a cooperation agreement. And so our whole family, except Aaron, who has already left - although we have a transit visa for Japan, although we have money for train tickets - have no right to leave the Soviet Union.

Dad is taken away in an unknown direction, and Tolik, Mom and I stay in Vilnius. Then the Soviet government is replaced by the Nazi government, and we, having avoided the Łódź ghetto, enter the Vilnius Jewish ghetto instead.
