Story Mary S.
Fate was not to her charity.
Frank, gentle, most share. She tossed and homeless cats sobachat know - embrace, sorry for the unfortunate animal. Because she remembers as a defenseless behind the barbed wire of Nazi concentration camps. But in hell there were warm words to the black-haired Maria.
... But life began, it seems nice. Oh, how nice. A girl born in Nizhyn. Father Stephen Fesyun, presided in Berezantsi. Mother and daughter were proud of him. Later the father is a military personnel, the family leaves the village.
Maria S. shows an old photo of the burned edges:
- That men are sworn. And this - the commander, my father.
The pregnant wife of Stephen with children riding on Nizhynschynu, but terrible news of the attack fascists dramatically change its plans. In the last days of pregnancy, with a seven-year low and Maria Felix, she tries to get to the place where already beat the fascists attack her husband. But the road to Bobruisk was cut off. Wretched woman with young children hiding in a dilapidated building of the former orphanage in a village near Pyrevychi Zhlobin. To find them, as sought bewildered children with their mother beloved dog, no one knows. But he could not defend poor.
Mary epiglottis:
- I still see as an example of a German mother killed.
Since that time began their orphan share. Mary remembered with many Belarusian families that attracted them. I remember with another family they were elsewhere, and in the partisan forest. So endless ways fatherless brought Nizhynska girl with little Maria Maria Arsentiyivnoyu Kaschyts that came in last Zhlobin change things on the potatoes. Learned about the orphans and took a little Maria.
Soon the two Mary for communication with the guerrillas were in Germany, concentration camp Troydorfu. Mary - the oldest named Mary - syritku his daughter, wrote her as follows: Mary Kaschyts, 1933 was born.
Mary S. wipes tears:
- I can not remember what, I can not say that, pardon me - I can not!
And she shows little Catholic crucifix. Came to the German camp, asked to give her this girl that helped keep the house in the garden. And on one of the Catholic holidays gave Mari a postcard with an icon and a black wooden cross.
After waiting for the release of two new Mari wandering. They arrived in Ukraine to a family, seeking asylum, and an extra mouth everywhere was objectionable.
Mary Jr. remained in Berezantsi knew only work in black strangers. No day is not crossed the threshold of the school and remained illiterate. But, perhaps to compensate for this, fate smiled at her - meets village boy Volodya Story. Later, married, born in them Natalochka daughter.
Warms the heart of Mary Story Stepanivny two grandchildren.
- God will pass over their troubles - is experiencing a grandmother with granddaughter, and in the hands of Sergei gold - grandparents assistant - is about the grandson.
Fate has been merciful to Mary Stepanivny Story, to all her family. But she did not complain of fate. And on the day of its anniversary I want to say only kind words.
How had she pomuchytysya until received a certificate of stay in the camp. After all, she was there under a different name and patronymic recorded on the deceased man called her mother Mary Kaschyts Arsentiyivny. How many had to convince that this is it, Mary Fesyun - Story. Helped state archives of Dnipropetrovsk, Zhlobin.
And like the government to not forget their promises, and helped her former juvenile prisoners. And still leaking roof, and knows about it.
- In other villages, like me, give at least one tank of gas a year for free, but I refused.
Without happy laughter, stories and dolls were childhood, needy and hard life, not the best of times and fell to old age ...
