Ovdak Mary G.
Born March 15, 1938 in the village Yevmynka Kozeletskyi region, Chernihiv region. When the war began, the father, Gregory V. Ovdak, of 1 day was at the front, as was the noncommissioned officer in the reserve.
July 9, 1941 my mother, Ovdak Praskovia Pavlovna with four young children Germans expelled from the house and forcibly drove Hermaniyu. 40 km walk to the station Bobrik, then sunk in the wagons. All the way adults were, and the children sat at the feet of mothers. On the way to eat is not given. Brought mother of 4 children in the camp on Dachau, where we were 3 months. The children were in the barracks, and adults were taken to different works. Then came Bauer-buyer and bought us for 25 marks.
Mother older brothers Added by 5 years, so that all children should be burned at Dachau. We are smaller, I was 5 years old, and brother Fedi - 10, Bauer would kill the car with gas, but on the way the car was attacked by the Germans, anti-fascists who were against Hitler, and delivered us.
In Bauer mother became disabled as pressured to work for 14 hours. The brothers fell to work, then Bauer beat whip. Mom pryyutyla girl from Dnipropetrovsk region - Natasha, and it was for his daughter, so spasala of the damned Germans. Natasha was 15 years. When brother John fell ill with malaria, the drugs were not given, and neighbors are transferred over the fence, when learned bauersha, the balance claimed, but neighbors did not give die. The brothers were 12 years old, and the document for fascist 17.
We liberated the American army. Home back in August 1945 naked and hungry. Ahead of winter clothing was not, but people helped each other and as relatives. The older two brothers and mother died. His father died at the front. I currently live in Kiev. I have a daughter and good grandchildren.
Very worried for the country where there is war, where hungry children are crying. I wish all the people of earth peace to war was nowhere for people smiling and happy every passing day.
