And even now I don't want to remember, it's so scary. It was both cold everywhere and heavy hunger. We baked grass cakes, dried potato peelings, chopped them, made bread out of them. I remember one incident. They showed us films when all the youth of our village gathered. During the next screening of the film, a fascist plane flew over us. Although there was no bombing, we felt so creepy! All rushed in all directions, fell to the ground, holding their heads. We have endured for all this wartime! ”- Nina Petrovna recalls the time of the war.
