Ryksiyeva Vera M.
When home mentioned, many think of something very big, fabulously long dreamed that you see memories of childhood, and of course it was a happy ...
And when recalls his childhood Vera M. Ryksiyeva, remembers the great willow on the edge Chotyniec under which she was almost three years after separation from the homeland. Released from the wagon train at the railway station - tears zatumanyly world pidkosylysya legs could not move, and the troubled breast of anger and anguish.
"To my happiness, - recalls Vera M. - I stopped near a man and asked if I daughter of Michael Brovicheva? Having received an affirmative reply, he called my sister Katya, who was here near the bazaar. What it was for the meeting! Both are hungry, tortured, meet each other were not, and moved povzkom for feet not held. Home to the village of Petrov, got a cart. Thanks to fellow countryman - a good man that we Transportation. "
A terrible picture before Virynymy opened his eyes - the Nazis burned house from which the only remaining brick idiot. There - just a stone cellar, where during the war and lived through it and Viryna mother and sister. Elder brother had returned home - killed at the front, freeing Belarus.
Before the war, Vera M. Orlovschyni lived in a poor peasant family in the same village. Miserable life skrashuvalos magnificent scenery: the village was a large forest, which abounded in a variety of summer berries, attracted the eyes of children hazelnut, many fungi. And there were many herbs. Villagers knew Overseas drinks - tea, coffee and the like. But they are well znalysya on grass. My mother was asked: "faith, offer-no hunters or sunychok for welding." And fun it was kids around Fat, almost vidrovoho samovar. Life seemed iridescent and carefree.
But the war interrupted barefoot childhood. Seven classes that graduated from Faith before the war were for her university, a guiding light that indicated how to survive in difficult years.
In 1942 the invaders occupied the village of Petrov. It is known that Orlovschyna during the war was a land where partisans. The emergence in the village of punitive detachments was not something exceptional.
Once the seven soldiers in camouflage uniforms of German along with mayor Kaznachevym Vladimir invaded the yard Brovychevyh. Father was ordered to immediately prepare for the German trench. He flatly refused and said: "The Red Army, I will go, and by the German - in any case." It cost him his life. Punitive brought it to the house and shot. "And your divku - shouted older - we send to work in Germany." Grasped by the hand and drove in convoy to station Hotynets. The mother ached, begged not to touch her daughter. She even wanted to send daughter circle that had something to drink water (summer was hot and dry). But the whacker in the form of a German woman pushed zhorovanu example, it fell into dust. So now its spread-eagle with outstretched sad figure Kruzhkov is in memory of Faith Mikhailovna.
Then it was that happened in many places occupied by the Nazis territory. 12-15-year-olds placed in open railway platforms, covered with straw, and carried to the West. After 7 days of minor prisoners found themselves in the distribution camp in Germany. Arbeitsamt - it was the slave market of the twentieth century.
Zvezly there and small, and old. One can hear it cry, cry, were all kinds of noise. Followed by sorting features, known only "power haves." All shave had "sanitized", dressed in striped do, as shoes for foot stilts - clumsy wooden shoes with zadertymy up "noses."
Vera got into camp, located in the forest near the city Altenhrabov. Around shestyyarusnyy barbed wire. Hard camp life supplemented exhausting work for 10-12 hours at the factory "Motion", where she worked in the galvanic shop. Degreasing cartridges for shells took place in the bath with smelly zotroyu in poorly ventilated room. Young girls, something of vapors of sulfuric acid, had a pale face which washed small tears. By hard labor - no pay.
To all those suffering more dobavlyalos compulsory donation: several times a month, took blood from the veins, for which a reward was given a carrot. He shied away from blood donation, that mercilessly beaten, and then still have blood.
Vera Mikhailovna released from prison that the Soviet army in April 1945. After filtration went home to Orlovschynu. Unfortunately, the Homeland met her hunger and ruin. To earn bread to save his mother and sister leaving to Ukraine, in Lutsk. Volyn became her second homeland, where met good people who helped her get on its feet - to get secondary education and a job. She married, brought up two children.
Now, being retired, not breaks connection with people. It - one of the founders of the Volyn Regional Branch of the Ukrainian Union, a member of the council is actively involved in the club "perilous heart."
Took blood and resident in Lutsk Bodnya Peter M., born in the village. Olhovets, Chełm County Lublin province (Poland) took the place of birth was 3/15/1942, was in the camp "Ohrbek" in areas Floverih, then worked at Bauer. Now - disabled the second group.
