My father was 6 years old when WWII started. He was the youngest in the family among his two older brothers. My grandmother expected another child. They lived in Gomel. I August 1941 my grandmother with children left Gomel and started there way toward safe place Orenburgskaya area. They used different ways of transportation, walked although more often on the train. Low bombs cracked thei train in the town Orel. They run from the train and at falled down fro the reail road. Many people were killed. On my father eyes his cousin burned alive. Awful smell of burned people was all around. The sound of that bombing and caking of the train stay with my dad for a long time and its have affected his hearing.
During all the time of evacuation they suffered from the strong frost, hunger, infections diseases .
In 1944 they came back to Gomel and they are house occupied by another family.
