The arrests of 1936-37 [during the so-called Great Terror] [10] didn't affect my father. He was head of the department of personal records at the plant. Several individuals were arrested at the plant, but my father remained untouched. Now I realize how my parents were expecting an arrest every night. The lights were always on in their room at night. Sometimes I heard them talking, but they stopped when I came into their room.
