Tag #146240 - Interview #100173 (Rosa Linger)

Ilia’s brit-milah was to take place on the 22nd of June 1941. Father was proud of his first grandson and was looking forward to his brit-milah. He stayed over night on 21 /22 June to help me get things ready for the rite. At night I was awaken by the blasts. I asked father what it was and he assumed that there were maneuvers.  At noon on the 22nd of June we found out that Germany [Great Patriotic War] [17] unleashed the war. Night explosions were not connected with training. It was German air-raid.
