I vividly remember June 22, 1941. It was a Sunday, and I was planning to go see Mirra Yanover, my classmate, who was staying at her dacha, or summerhouse, to pick up some notes to prepare for my tests at the Institute. I went by tram. It passed by a military college. There were soldiers lining up in the yard, and people in the tram talked about what it might mean. I said that I thought it was some kind of training. We were totally convinced that nothing negative would happen. We were sure that the war would finish in a month’s time with our victory.
