Soon the bombing of our town began. Our neighbor boy was scarred stiff and became numb.
Mohilev-Podolsk was cut off from the railroad and an organized evacuation from the town was out of the question. We were encircled. The three of us left Mohilev-Podolsk on foot. We covered 30 kilometers every day. We didn't have any food for days. We only had little food with us and even less money. We reached Poltava after covering 800 kilometers. From there we went to Krasnodarskiy region by train, and moved further on because the Germans were approaching. My father wired his brother Iosif in Novosibirsk, and he sent us money for the road.
