Note from a local resident

== Description ==
=== Part 1 ===
The Germans were advancing rapidly, my husband was called to the front at the beginning of summer, but my sister and I did not have time to evacuate.
At first, the Germans were not very fierce. They hired us for work. me and a few other villagers were sent to dig anti-tank ditches. A German was put on guard for us, but rather, we guarded him, somehow on his fingers he managed to explain to us that he did not force us to work, that he did not want to go to war, but his family and business were waiting for him at home. In short, do not strain, women, well, these ditches. As a result, we ourselves guarded such a controller so that other Germans would not notice and send someone worse.
By the way, unlike the collective farm, the Germans paid us regularly, which they boasted about. True, in the bread they paid for, in the middle of the sawdust.
=== Part 2 ===
My first acquaintance with the partisans was gloomy: they came at night and, in the absence of other valuables, took away the wedding dress. As that robber said: "I will give Maruska, let her rejoice."
