Unfortunately, we know very little about what happened in the camp and before the departure. It was as if it was not allowed to talk about it or ask about it. My mother, when she was still a child, sometimes accidentally overheard conversations of adults, they did not talk to her about it openly.

It was almost always known in the village who the informer was and whose fault it was that the man had been sent to the camp. Many men said they did not want to go home because they were afraid they would kill their informer.

My mother was left alone with two small children after her husband and my father were taken to a camp.

After his release, he immediately left for Poland, and my mother decided to follow him. Her entire family helped to collect enough money by selling things and the farm.

She left her loved ones and friends, her whole life, and left with my two brothers for an unknown destination, but to her beloved.
