Tag #116394 - Interview #78774 (Fania Brantsovskaya)

We stopped to take a rest in the town of Gorodishche in Western Belarus. The house we stayed in was on a hill. The owner's son, a teacher, showed us the German parachutists landing. I buried my documents in their garden, while the German motorcyclists were riding along the streets. The occupation began. In the morning all men including my father and uncle were taken to the market square. These were the frontline forces and these men just scared the men around a bit before letting them go home. We headed home, but in the first village we passed the villagers took away our horses and we had to walk on. A few days later we returned home.
