My mother and her two brothers left Kiev for Kharkov, but they went
on a raft across Dneper and got to Dnepropetrovsk. There was my uncle's
organization, which was evacuating some cranes, metal constructions, etc.
They all were put on an open platform and sent to Sverdlovsk. It happened
so that they were passing by Kharkov, and they asked somebody to go and get
me. So, I joined them and we went to Sverdlovsk together. The journey took
twenty days.
We were in a tall, roofless train car. There were a lot of metal
constructions on the floor, and a tent stood upon them. That's where we
stayed. My uncle had a paper that said that we were in charge of the cargo.
That's how my mother and I were reunited.
