Murder Story of Batsevichi Jews in Yankova Khvoika

In November, the killers made another unexpected raid in Batsevichi and shot all the Jews. During that operation, they murdered my mother Raya and my brother Abram. I was in the forest [with the partisans] at the time. The forest had become our home. We lived in dugouts. There were many sick women and children. We took care of them. We asked people in nearby villages for bread and potatoes, and we shared whatever we got. It was a particularly harsh winter.
