Living on Pototsky street
Mother’s adventures with Ukrainian police and Germans Arrest of the father Dangerous games of childhood“In 1939 I was liberated for the first time, in 1941 – for the second one, in 1944 – for the third one and in 1991 – for the last one, but that time form everything. I was baptized in Saint’s Antony church. I lived on Pushkina str., now it is Chuprynka str. But then it was Pototsky str. – gymnasium named after Queen Yadvìga, my father was a warden of this building. Now there is a city hospital N5 there, but before war there was a female high school named after Queen Yadvìga. In 1939 when we were liberated by first soviets, we were evicted. They made a hospital there. We were evicted from the building and father was arrested as an enemy of nation. Mother with me, I was three years old, were living in strange places. And so we lived until the second liberation.”
