Story-teller: “But my sister was taken away. I think, that was under such influence, that, you know … So it went, girls. We had the elder, the elder of our village, Kristinki village. He himself had a big family. There were some four sisters and two brothers. They should have deported somebody from that family, you know, but nobody was deported. As there were many, and we were of Russian nationality, my sister was taken away to Germany on 27 May in the forty-second.”
Interviewer: “Did she return?”
Story-teller: “What?”
Interviewer: “Did she come back?”
Story-teller: “No, she didn’t”. There were also deportees from Holland and she spent about a month in the camp. They were sorted, it was found out if they had been Komsomol volunteers or not, and so on. I know that we sent the information from the civil parish that she had never been any member of anything. You see, the year forty-two, but before that was the fortieth – many young people had joined, as they say, that Komsomol. My sister was born in the twenty-third, she was deported young. She married a Hollander, she now lives in Holland.
Interviewer: “Did you get in touch with her?”
Story-teller: “What?”
Interviewer: “Did you get in touch with her?”
