Nobody wanted to leave this farm house as everyone was scared and did not know what the Soviets would do.
-
First, we could see explosions, there were lights so that they could see at night where to bomb
-
and we could hear boom, boom, boom, the noise from tanks and armoured vehicles.
-
This farm house was situated between two main routes - one leading to the east, and the Batory`s route.
-
We could see that both routes were filled by the army.
-
What? The war broke out? We had no clue what happened.
-
At some moment we heard shots and everything froze.
-
All tanks stopped,
-
I guess it was a kind of signal that when the Germans were coming, the Russians were supposed to stop.
-
It took two, maybe three days, it is hard to say.
-
One beautiful day I was by the river Neris,
-
I was coming back and I saw that at the Josephs in front of their house,
-
there was a horse, harnessed, and an open carriage, and the brother of Mrs. Lachowiczówna.
-
I heard: take a horse and your carriage and go – and this carriage and a horse were left at the Josephs so that something could be saved.
-
So I took the carriage and left the place.
-
In the new place I reached I found only a girl. She was my age.
-
She was doing whatever, was not paid for her job but could live there for free.
-
It was a daughter of our herdsman.
-
Melania said: I sit here by myself, it is very good you came.
-
Agriculture buildings, where the workers lived, were far away.
