Tag #128805 - Interview #77955 (Semyon Falk)

During the time of the arrests in 1937 [during the so-called Great Terror] my uncle Chaim, the husband of my father's sister Khasia, was arrested. We sympathized with her, but we didn't discuss this subject at home. There was something else that made 1937 a memorable year for me: there was a prison in Korosten. The prisoners were brought there from Narodichi, Olevsk and Ovruch. My parents' friends were among them. Their relatives begged my parents to help them arrange a meeting or give them a parcel. I used to show them the way to the prison.
