Before the very beginning of the war Mum had taken us children to
Aunt Rita, her sister, for vacations. Rita was a military doctor in 1941
and lived in a hospital in the town of Lenele near Vitebsk. There, on June
22, we learned about the war. Rita's military colleagues took us by car to
Orsha, and there we managed to get on a train to Vitebsk. The following
week the Germans entered the city.
