The train was bombed while people were getting on it. Many people were killed. Little Misha shook his finger at the plane saying, ‘Don’t bomb us. Don’t kill my mother.’ We were lucky to survive. We got stuck in Malin for several hours until the railroad track was repaired.
Uncle Boria was waiting for us in Malin. He had evacuated his family before and he himself evacuated much later. We said good-bye to him. He gave us a bowl of sour cream – a buttery in Malin was destroyed and people took as much as they could take with them. I shared this sour cream with other people in our railcar.
