Name: Władysław Rataj
Description: Everything happened in a similar fashion to my wife’s story – we were loaded into cattle cars & when we were crossing the border we all sang religious hymns – “Nie Rzucim Ziemie” was one of the songs – the doors were locked, and then opened only from time to time – I don’t remember how long the trip was – but there was a stove in the centre of the wagon, and there was no toilet, so the people made a hole in the floor and surrounded it with a blanket and this served as a toilet - we were on the train for a long time and we reached a place near Archangelsk.
