Tag #153099 - Interview #94113 (Yevgenia Kozak)

Here we heard the horrible news: aunt Riva and her children left Bershad, but got in encirclement. She had to go back home and they stayed in the ghetto. Riva was a messenger for a partisan unit under command of Yasha Tahles, a Komsomol activist. Her home was their secret address. Fascists found out the truth and shot Riva in the central square of Bershad before everybody else. Fortunately Riva’s children Lusia and Semyon survived: the partisans managed to save them. Riva’s husband Rafael Podolskiy perished at the front.
