Memories of the Crimean Tatars were rarely published in the Soviet times. Nowadays, memoirs are often published without scientific editing and commentaries. The memoirs of Z. Asanov, a witness to the tragic events of the Great Patriotic War and the post-war period are published for the first time. The author of the memoirs was eyewitnesses to the extermination of Jews in Yevpatoria, occupied by the German-Romanian troops. Later, together with his relatives and fellow countrymen, he was deported.
