My father went to the front at the beginning of autumn 1941 after he left all children in the children’s home. He wrote a letter to Artyomovsk, but it didn’t reach us. My father was at the front and didn’t have any information about my mother or me for two years. In 1943 my father was severely wounded – his jaw was injured. He had to wear a bandage for the rest of his life. He was demobilized and began searching for my mother and me.
