There were one, two horses.
-
As winter came, there was plenty of snow, so one of our workers drove one sleigh, I drove the next one.
-
During the whole winter I worked as a cart man.
-
When it was still dark outside we used to go to the forest by sleigh, load the timber, firewood.
-
We took it to the station called Bezdany, there we had to unload the firewood and come back to the forest.
-
We had to do this twice a day.
-
The next spring came in 1941.
-
In June 1941 I went to Vilnius.
-
I guess I had to meet with somebody, to find out about somebody, I do not remember exactly.
-
There was very little contact then with the city.
-
I found out that the doctor died two days earlier,
-
that his wife and daughter did not have money to pay for the funeral,
-
and they asked me if me and my mum could help them.
-
I came back home, my mum said: your money, you made it, take it.
-
I went to Vilnius and after that I did not see my mum for a couple of years.
-
I came to Vilnius and the Soviets started deporting Poles from the city on a large scale.
-
That day I could evade arrest, this family had a phone– the Zebrowski family,
-
and somebody from their relations knew I was in Vilnius
-
and informed me that my mum had been deported from her place
-
and told me not to come back as they were looking for me.
