Henry Sieniuc Ankieta (Questionaire about Soviets)
A Questionnaire (original handwritten document is on file at Hoover WWII Institute, USA)
(written by Henryk Sieniuc sometime after leaving the Soviet prison detention camp after joining Anders Army, English Army 8th Division)
Regarding a so-called plebiscite organized by soviet occupation authorities.
Sieniuc Henryk, Iza village, Wilejka county
English Translation:
"I didn't participate in the elections, because I was too young. One could vote from the age of eighteen. But I saw how voting took place.
Everyone was handed a piece of paper. Since my father crossed out the entire page, after several days he was sent deep into Russia.
I was told that on those pieces of paper there were numbers, and they could easily verify who votes for what and what one writes on the paper. Everyone knew that the voting was a fraud, because no one had a free voice. One voted as one was ordered to. Who was against it, got arrested and persecuted. "
Signed Henryk Sieniuc
