Ramsky Peter T.
Born in Nazi concentration camp Bremen Hemelinh 21.02.1943. I want to tell you why I was born in the camp.
My mother, Ramsky Akhmatova was born in 1918 in the village of Badger Lanovetskogo district, Ternopil region, in a large poor smallholder families. She graduated four classes of the Polish school.
The area, inhabited by parents belonged to Volyn province of the Russian Empire, and after the Civil War was occupied southern Poland to Volhynia in September 1939. His father, Timothy A. Basiuk narodyvsya1917 year in Borsuk-same village in a poor peasant smallholder families. Even grandfather Andrew Basiuk for domination of Poland went to work in America to improve the financial situation of families and enable children to learn. Being in a rural school, young Timothy has shown ability in the sciences, a teenager wrote poetry. Even in the regime of Poland graduated from high school and Michael Kremenets national university. Arrival of the Red Army on the ground in Western Ukraine in September 1939 met mixed. The population of Volyn, suffering bitter fate by tsarism, cruel oppression regime in Poland, with the arrival of Red Army hoped a better fate. Since the beginning of 1940 all over Volhynia and Galicia were mass arrests of scientists Lviv, Ternopil Stanislaus, intellectuals and common people. This action pryklala his black hand Stalinist NKVD. Come trains slaves to the East Urals and Siberia. Since the war during the retreat from Ternopil of prison inmates were sent to East stage, and those remaining were shot by the NKVD.
Population clear what the Soviet authorities, and these criminal actions caused the resistance of the population of Western Ukraine to the Soviet regime and after the war.
Basiuk Timothy escaped persecution because he was drafted in 1940 into the Red Army. Command zaprymitylo high educational level and sent Timothy Basiuk are analyzed in anti-tank artillery officer school in Voznesensk. The regiment, which served as a lieutenant Basiuk Timothy, from the war 6/22/1941, he was sent to South-Western Front in the winery. The Red Army retreated not only from the superior forces of Nazi Germany, and gross miscalculations by the supreme command of the Stalinist regime, together with all the departed and the regiment, which served as a lieutenant Basiuk Timothy. The defense of Ukraine's capital Kyiv, the subsequent retreat environment. Lieutenant Timothy Basiuk was in the retreating column Commander of South-Western Front Hero of the Soviet Union, Colonel General Kyrponosa. The last battle in the area Shumeykovoho Tracts, where he died commander. Captivity, escape, but Lieutenant Timothy Basiuk went not to the East, and the native Volyn.
After many days of transition from the shores of the Dnieper reached the native village badger. Front rolled away to the East, and in Volhynia brutally ruled the roost started a new "savior", executions of civilians, looting, export of German youth in slavery, that's what brought the German invaders.
With bitter survey of the front, seeing as a leading new occupant, Timothy Basiuk organized by local peasants and prisoners of war guerrilla group and gave him the name "Front Ukrainian Revolution" - Fur and that the family avoided repression invaders took the name "Vladimir Yavorenko" . Home in 1942 in Volhynia and Polesie emerged four military-political formation of the Ukrainian resistance movement.
First, Woodland Jan-CHPA Ataman T. Bulba-Borovets.
Second OCHN (b) under the direction of Bandera.
Third OCHN (M) led by A. Miller.
Fourth, armed groups "Front Ukrainian Revolution," which was a great movement for independence in the South and Volyn, Kremenets, Shumsky, Pochayiv, Lanovytskoho districts led by Vladimir Yavorenko, real name Timothy Basiuk born in the village badger.
In his political convictions Yavorenko belonged rather to the democratic camp, than to nationalism, because he was a supporter of the UPR. The main objective of the "Front of Ukrainian Revolution" - armed struggle against the German invaders, protect local people from looting and removal of young people to the Reich.
Also in Volhynia were red partisans who came from Bryansk forests and did not recognize the Ukrainian nationalist resistance. While OCHN (M) and OCHN (b) thinking thought as to treat the new occupants, Timothy Basiuk-Yavorenko the spring of 1942 began to fight against the German invaders. Famous fighting unit "Front Ukrainian Revolution" abduction Kremenets county newspaper printing "Kremenets Journal," which was printed by fascists, at St. Andrew in 1942. The attack on the train to race Yuskivtsi-Mushroom near the station Lanivtsi, which are cars with slaves, which the Nazis were brought to the Reich and lawful good. Destroyed health, slaves fled, and prey apart locals. April 29, 1943 punitive Kremenets county gendarmerie burned village hammers Lanovetskogo area residents and shot - 617 people. Two months Yavorenkivtsi pidlovyly in borschovetskomu forest punitive village Hammers, punitive portion was destroyed, but the most important thing in this battle has been removed gendarmerie commander Kremenets Huntsman. Thus, yavorinkivtsi vidomstyly for the tragedy of the village hammers. There were many other fighting unit "Front Ukrainian Revolution" with the German occupiers. In memoirs and books described on Timothy-Yavorenko Basiuk are analyzed, it is characterized as thoughtful, energetic military commander. (He graduated from officer school Red Army had a frontline survey in South-Western Front, was a patriot of Ukraine). In private life Basiuk are analyzed Timothy consisted not all right. Being on the road of armed struggle with the Germans, it is reflected in the family. To learn where Basiuk-Yavorenko, the Germans brought the old Andrew Basiuk are analyzed to be shot. In exchange for the location of the son promised pardon. Old Nazis managed to prove that an adult son and he shall not affect the son of "love the new German government." This time the Germans let go of the old in the hope that his son would come to visit their parents and they seize it. In head-Basiuk are analyzed Yavorenko Nazis gave 10,000 Reichsmark. In such a situation could Basiuk Timothy to open marriage to Anna Andreyevna Ramsky. Basiuk-Yavorenko dohovoryvsya with patriotic Orthodox priest Fr. Sobko, who was coming in villages Tataryntsi, Yakymivtsti (which is important at. Sobko participated in military actions yavorenkivtsiv) of marriage, in secret to avoid persecution by invaders.
As usually done in us, Ukrainian, not without Judas. It became known to the Germans, who are Ramsky Akhmatova Basiuk Timothy-Yavorenko. At the time of arrest mother was burdened me and even took my mother's sister, Antonina A. Ramsky. According to documents Bremen archive is 17.06.1942, the mother and sister Antonina were slaves Reich concentration camp in Bremen-Hemelinh outside Chepelinshtrasse in the so-called "rusish-camp." 21.02.1943, with the advent of the world my God dobavylos another Nazi slave of the 18 million that were in Germany. Baptized me in a Catholic shelter for dependent workers of Eastern Europe, supporting documents archive of Bremen. About life in the camp do not remember, but from the stories my mother and aunt Antonina know that this camp was separately and children. For us care for German women. They taught us to speak German, as already arrived to Ukraine after the release, I spoke in German, because other languages do not know. Life in the camp until the release of American troops were bitter, as throughout the captives, most importantly - survived to liberation and the end of the war. Then the question back at home, Americans are warned to be persecution by Soviet authorities and was able to not return, but my mother and aunt Antonina decided to return. Mom still did not know that her husband, and me father Timothy Basiuk are analyzed there alive. While we were in camp, events in Volyn developed a groove.
All four years of military-political formation had their troops. Woodland Jan - CHPA T. Bulba-Borovets and "Front Ukrainian Revolution" Fur Timothy Basiuk are analyzed, Yavorenko were active armed struggle with the German occupiers, while OCHN (M) OCHN (b) until the spring of 1943 to decide whether to open the fight against invaders . It pledged their lives to speak openly against the Germans, but OCHN (b) declared its supremacy in the national Ukrainian resistance movement, which was not unity. Detachments OCHN (b) disarmed in Volyn Polissya woodlands Jan-CHPA, Melnyk, and before that destroyed the central wire Melnyk in Zhitomir. OCHN (b) pursued and "Front Ukrainian Revolution" Timothy-Yavorenko Basiuk are analyzed. The book historian G. Starodubets "OCHN (b) in the Ukrainian national movement vyzvolytelnomu in Volhynia during World War II (1941-1943)" says: "At the same time there is tension between Bandera and" Front of Ukrainian Revolution "has referred us one commander of shelters OCHN (b) group Aeneas Crook gives the order to disarm itself and all its Yavorenko department. (274, p.31) In fact, Fur acts as an independent military-political formation. How many active was his activity can be judged from the information submitted in the report VO "Bohun" OCHN (b) of 01.12.1943, the authors document express open concern that "in the area walking Lanivetskomu Yavorenko and still they (the service Security) OCHN (b) it did not take. "
Based on the real situation, the prosecution "Front Ukrainian Revolution" Fur and family members, OCHN (b), the commander-Basiuk Yavorenko to avoid fratricide decides to dissolve squad Fur, and the closest of friends go into hiding, as the Germans and Bandera to continue to fight invaders. Security Service Agents OCHN (b) searched Yavorenko. By rejecting the ideological program OCHN (b) by refusing to participate in fratricidal actions between the Polish and Ukrainian (the so-called "Volyn tragedy" when the Poles destroyed entire villages Ukrainian and Ukrainian - Polish) SB tortured Basiuk are analyzed Timothy - Yavorenko, and the body thrown into a well in the village Synivtsi Lanovetskogo area in late February 1944. After years of searching I managed to find a place of death and that well (it is completely filled and kept watch as they say, there he is a tortured SB). People in Volhynia still afraid to speak the truth about those terrible events. At our request Ternopil Regional State Administration and Ternopil regional council brought a decision on burial commander of the armed formation "Front Ukrainian Revolution" in South Volhynia Basiuk are analyzed Timothy - Yavorenko and install a memorial sign to Hero in his native village Borsuk in May 2003.
The war ended, most of the slaves back, and we too. Stroll across the river Elbe realized that Americans spoke the truth. Army, which liberated Europe from fascism met us with suspicion and disdain for our troubles, to the countrymen who are not on their own caught in Nazi captivity. Come check, pereperevirky, abuse Soviet liberators. Innocent women, especially women who gave birth to children in bondage, distress, humiliation, do not bring God, the enemy is not pleased. Who was there in Nazi captivity, knows the attitude of the Nazis, and returning home, the Soviet liberators. What offended us, children born in terrible conditions in captivity before the Nazis, the liberators of Europe and the Soviet government? Not very humane attitude towards the victims of the Nazi government of independent Ukraine, which does not comply with the Act of March 23, 2002 on "Victims of Nazism."
I napam'yataty words voyenopolonennoho Andrei Sokolov of the book "The fate of man" "beaten by everything that you were born, beat that walking in a white world," as the Nazis occupiers and liberators! I notice that I have no claim to the regular Red Army that liberated peoples of Europe, I sincerely appreciate their feats of arms of soldiers, officers generals, I almost put the question for bullying, contempt for their fellow citizens of the NKVD and SMERSH, which they done mischief, and as the Soviets combined.
After half of Europe, no one test or a Transit camp with their abuse, neglect, at the end of the feast Apple Spas 19 August 1945 came to his native village badger. I met our strict reality. In the beginning, in winter 1945, the Security Service OCHN (b) older sister tortured mother, Natalia, and cast into the river Horyn. Continued to struggle with the Soviet occupiers in the western part of Ukraine, including Volyn Ukrainian nationalists to the Soviets. By its scale against nationalists for his cruelty to the local population Soviets NKVD exceeded German fascists. I can not find words that can oprydilyty cruelty! Conducted uncompromising war between the NKVD and nationalist insurgents-UPA. Burning the village, the wind rozhoyduvalys hanged wells were filled with nothing innocent human bodies. By cruelty NKVD Nazis were angels. From historical data it was reported that more than five thousand mobile units NKVD was thrown in Western Ukraine by the Soviet authorities under pereodityh nationalists, and the group burned, hanged, shot the local population, partrobitnykiv Soviet, invaders that caused distrust of the rebels NKVD and the Soviets dobylas his son that went against his father, father against son, neighbor wrote to inform on their neighbors. Enmity sown by the NKVD, borne fruit. People are animals against each other. This situation did not have peace and our family. Day came agents of the government with their demands, and at night they came, whether rebels or robbers, looters, or spetszahonivtsi NKVD, armed, and did not know how to respond, or master or mate for those and those killed, burned house, hang up, yet the world did not see an Inquisition. In this situation the mother and our whole family did not confess that I am the son of Timothy Basiuk are analyzed, and documents were issued to me by Peter Ramsky surname and patronymic mother wrote in memory of the deceased husband T.. In such circumstances, which occurred in Volhynia, by another act was impossible. In 1947 the family Basiuk Timothy took away the Soviets to Siberia, the Kemerovo region. Old Basiuk Andrew, my grandfather, survived the Civil War, Second World, but not experienced violence Soviet power and forever rest in the cold Siberian land. Mom does not confessed that I am the son Basiuk are analyzed, and on the other we could take in Siberia and Kazakhstan. Echelons of slaves were one after another from the Western regions of Ukraine to the East, and much larger than the fascists in the West. How much trouble and grief did the Soviet government to the population of Western Ukraine, the one God knows it would not be count. Archival documents give dry information removed, nothing murdered innocent civilians in Western Ukraine. Here is an example, in the village Antonivtsy Shumsky district, Ternopil region was headquarters of the rebels, the Soviet authorities and NKVD evicted all the residents of villages in Zaporizhia region and second regions of the country's vast Soviets. The village is completely destroyed zarivnyaly and planted forest. You are not where the map area Shumsky not find the village Antonivtsy. So is delivered to the Soviets disobedient villages! To avoid expulsion Yavorenko recommended friends mom change residence sooner or later there is journalism. My mother runs away from the village of Badger in the district center Lanivtsi, and with the help of friends Yavorenko goes to work in tea posudomyynytseyu and this made it possible to avoid communication, not desired, with the government. After Stalin's death came relief. UPA ceased their resistance power occupants. But no one could guarantee the safety of people up to the collapse of the Soviet Union. And now no guarantees in independent Ukraine?
Meanwhile, growing up with me. I went to school, but my birth in Germany and who my father played a particularly negative way to communicate with peers and adults, as well as at school. I could dear obizvaty fascist, bastard, I was defenseless, which is very bad influence on children's psyche. Sun Life closed, storonyvsya people, seeing the injustice, being alien to lunch, I knew in childhood cruelty of life in this white world. Graduated seven classes and when the question of continuing education and the negative impact of the school, including everything associated with my birth was in fascist captivity, I realized then there is a baby in that way to me science is closed! Although I was not a member of the Komsomol, but their ticket went to Kazakhstan to raise the virgin lands in 1958. He worked at various construction sites, then taught for electric welder and this specialty was the main up to the retirement for disability. Further military service and then structure. He worked on the construction of thermal power plants, pipelines Tyumen, Central Asia, Turkmenistan, Belarus and Ukraine. Працював чесно, як більшість громадян тодішнього Союзу. Знаючи жорстокі повадки радянської влади, по мірі можливості не йшов на конфлікт з нею, треба було жити нормально, як жили всі люди. 1988 році, узнавши, що в Києві відбудеться перша зустріч колишніх малолітніх в'язнів, я був учасником 22-23-червня установчих зборів. Не забувайте, ще тоді міцно тримався «союз нерушимий», і це була велика перемога, накінець радянська влада визнала нас, колишніх в'язнів концтаборів і примусово вивезених в неволю до Рейху. А скільки ці люди настраждались, скільки горя і біди зазнали до визнання владою. Влада надала хоть куці, а пільги страждальцям фашистської неволі. Це була перемога над владою. По всій території тодішнього Союзу почали організовуватись обласні, міські і районі відділення колишніх малолітніх в'язнів фашизму.
26 квітня 1990 року було організоване Тернопільське відділення з послідуючою перереєстрацією в 1994 році, яке і досі функціонує в м.Тернопіль, вул. С. Петлюри, 6/14. Головою Тернопільського відділення було обрано мене, як учасника установчих зборів 22-23.1988 року від в'язнів Тернопільщини. З самого заснування відділення працюю на громадських засадах безплатно. Основна робота нашого відділення, це надання інформації, роз'яснення, пошук підтверджуючих документів про перебування на примусових роботах Рейху в роки війни, допомога соціального і правового захисту жертв-нацизму. Коли постало питання першої гуманітарної допомоги, багато колишніх невільників не мало документів, в одних відбирали при поверненні, другі самі нищили, боячись переслідувань, відділення надавало допомогу в вирішені цієї проблеми. Хочу замітити, що уже під час першої подачки діти, які народились, були обділені, їм видали по 400ДМ. На жаль, добивались колишні малолітні в'язні (наша спілка), а в повному об'ємі скористались дорослі нашими плодами! Щоб отримати моральний і юридичний мир від жертв-нацизму Східної Європи, уряд ФРН погодився виплатити другу грошову допомогу, і знову діти і уже сільгосппрацівники не підпадають під цей Закон, отримали категоричну відмову ФРН. З дозволу німецького Фонду був зроблений партнерськими організаціями України, Росії і Білорусії перерозподіл за рахунок працівників промисловості в сумі 1500 марок (по старому). Такого нахабства, цинізму ніхто не чекав з боку уряду ФРН, Бундестагу і їхнього Фонду. Розібравшись з тим Законом ФРН про виплати, я, будучи делегатом від України на Міжнародній конференції КМВФ, яка відбулась 14-17 жовтня 2001 року в м. Мінськ (Республіка Білорусь), офіційно відмовився від отримання цієї незаконної подачки. Моя відмова отримала підтримку і других в'язнів. На засіданні «Круглого столу», який відбувся 22.10.2002 року в м. Києві, свою відмову підтвердив з цілою групою відказників. Про відмову ми підтвердили на Міжнародній конференції КМВФ 28-30 жовтня 2002 року в м. Дніпропетровськ. Нашу відмову на «Круглому столі» підтримали депутати Верховної Ради України, Кабінет Міністрів України. Направлені відповідні документи і резолюції Уряду ФРН і Бундестагу з вимогою переглянути відповідний Закон і внести зміни і доповнення про достойну виплату дітям до 12 років народження в неволі і сільгосппрацівникам. Яке рішення винесе Уряд і Бундестаг ФРН, невідомо?! Надіємось на позитивне вирішення цієї проблеми! Хоч є Закон про «Жертви-нацизму» від 23.03.2000 року, все ж приходиться відстоювати законні права на пільги і соціальний захист. Уряди України не виконують Закону «Жертви-нацизму». То один, то другий Уряд приостановлює дію окремих статей Закону, а це є немаловажний фактор при наших мізерних пенсіях. І от тут основне поле діяльності нашої Української спілки в'язнів -жертв нацизму по захисту наших прав. Нас стає менше, треба приділитибільш уваги виходу книг-спогадів, спорудження пам'ятників «Жертвам нацизму», проводити частіше зустрічі з учнівською молоддю, розповідати про ту жахливу війну ХХ століття.
Цими основними проблемами сьогодні займається Тернопільське відділення.
Я не є істориком, я описав своє бачення про події і наслідки тієї жахливої війни, будучи народженим в фашистському концтаборі, в якому перебувала мама і тьотя, а батько воював з німецьким окупантом, в деякій мірі причасний до цих трагічних на Волині подій і моїх батьків. Описав я на основі прочитаних книг і документів того часу, довоєнного, воєнного і після воєнного періоду сільської сім'ї на Волині. Про це не можна забувати, про Трагедію Волині, всієї України, і наша мета не допустити повторення. За чесну працю був нагороджений медаллю «Ветеран праці». За поданням клопотання Тернопільської обласної держадміністрації і Облради, 29 листопада 2000 року Указом Президента України «За заслуги» ІІІ ступеня. Нагороду вручав сам Президент України Л. Кучма. В міру своїх можливостей і здоров'я продовжую працювати головою Тернопільського відділення Української спілки в'язнів — жертв нацизму. Хто відійшов в мир інший, хай їм земля буде пухом! А живим здоров'я, якого до всіх Вас шановні побратими!
