Tag #122636 - Interview #101182 (Simon Glasberg)

Let me recount the period of the departure. We know that we took very few things with us to Transnistria. An order had been issued that people should leave in a very short while with only the bare necessities: clothes and some suitcases, bundles, whatever they could carry. My mother wrapped the head of the sewing machine in a blanket, lest they should see it, because we weren’t allowed to take such things with us – which is to say, a means of survival, basically, that’s what it was. And that’s what kept us alive in Transnistria. We traveled through Moghilev [6], and were taken to Djurin [nowadays Dzhurin, in the Vinnytsya region in Ukraine] in Transnistria.
