Testimonies - Soviet Forced Labour

Building a brick wall from snow

Name:	Jerzy Wiktor Bockenhein
Description:	Explaining how the collective farm was 50 km from the Chinese border, with very harsh winters, and the Poles were forced to make bricks from the snow and build a snow wall. The assumed objective of this work was to finish them off. (Note: Jerzy has had a stutter since the start of the war, when a bomb landed on their house and frightened him so much that he did not speak at all for some days).
