Description:

Barnaul - Kazakhstan - Uzbekistan. My cousin Bronislaw Fedzin told me the family passed through Rubtsovsk, Semey(Semipalatinsk) and Qyzylorda on the way to Uzbekistan. The promised accommodation could not be provided and after a month they were given permits to go to Bishkek(Frunze) in Kyrgysztan.Here an uncle was captured by the NKVD and conscripted to the Red Army under Berling and sent to the front. The family then fled the NKVD and hid with a native family in Shu, Kazakhstan, until 1946.
