Roman Barskiy in the army in the Far East

This is me in the army, in the Far East, in 1957. I?m on the right. I was the only Jew in the unit. We all got along well. We built our houses from bricks removed from the former camp facilities. The camps had been closed by then. This was in 1956. I served as operations orderly. My responsibility was to monitor planes in the sky, some of which were not our planes. I served five years in the army. When I was offered the chance to demobilize, I took it.
