Telesfor was 14 when he was deported in Feb/March 1940. He had been away at school in Pinsk when his family was taken on 10th Feb. He was taken to Rowne, first to a large synagogue full of people, mostly women and children. They were guarded by a sheepskin-clad Soviet soldier who wore a strange pointed cap and held a rifle fixed with a long thin bayonet.

A few days later they were loaded into cattle trucks with wooden bunks on both sides of the door, an iron stove in the centre and with a hole cut into the floor to serve as a toilet. 50 people were squashed into this wagon!

From the wagon they looked out in terror at a tall wooden fenced enclosure with an observation tower at each corner. The palisade itself was formed from sharp-pointed posts each 3 metres in height! Telesfor was devasted to find out that none of his family members were here.
