The passengers going to the diesel trains see off eyes the modest plate with the name of a stop – the villages of Cherevachitsa. However only the senior generation kobrinchan, endured war or post-war years, knows about that hard destiny which got to "primagistralny" villages in that hard time. To Lidochka Kozel - today she is Lidiya Pavlovna Masur - in the 1943rd there was the 10th year...

Late evening on November 6 near the village the German echelon which went in the Moscow direction was derailed. In the same night the first snow dropped out... The Germans who arrived to the place of explosion defined that traces from ways conducted in Cherevachitsy. After a while the reinforcement came from Kobrin to Hitlerites.

Germans went a chain, setting fire to sheds and houses. Pedantically and ruthlessly removed and shot inhabitants - as if did usual work. Lidiya Pavlovna remembers how she stood on the doorstep of the house among even live family...

- Mother spoke: "Be not afraid, we have all on the place, and we are not connected with guerrillas — we will not be killed". But she was mistaken... Having seen the young husband of elder sister, Germans decided to vent on him rage - and dragged for the house. He cried: "Run!". The wife who rushed to it was met by a shot... Behind it the aunt was killed, then mother who covered me from an explosive bullet – I was hooked by only a small splinter.

In the house there was her uncle who managed to push Lidochka for an open door and, already shot, pressed a door the body. Except a family, in the house there lived Anna - the serviceman's wife from the Brest fortress which took cover under a bed. Possibly, having thought what live is not present any more, Germans went further.

Suddenly I heard a voice: "There is who live?" - Lidiya Pavlovna tells. - It was my cousin who, being a wounded, pretended to be a dead and survived. From under a bed Ania got out and told that it is necessary to run.

The brother refused, and Lidochka with Ania, bending down, Gardeners ran towards the village. In consciousness the rumble of the burning structures, low of cattle, shouts, groans, crying rushed... Lidochka did not react to the events in any way - and as told later, two days did not even cry. Having approached is closer to Gardeners, saw the Germans who surrounded church. Germans began to shoot, Lidochka was easily wounded. Together with Ania near the small river turned on Zhabinka - and left to Boguslavicham where they were sheltered in some house...
