Tag #142783 - Interview #97016 (Efim Finkel)

I stayed in hospital until January 1945. I was demobilized after such severe injury. The war wasn’t over yet, but Odessa region was free from Germans. I decided to go home. I received a pass from the military registry office to go to Odessa. I didn’t have to pay any fares as a military. I had to change trains to get to my destination.  In March 1945 I came home, but there was nobody there. Our house was occupied by some people whom I didn’t know.
