Grave at the house 

About the tragedy which happened on September 23, 1942 in of Borisovk and claimed the lives of 169 people of different age, it was written in many newspapers, it was told on the Nuremberg process. Borisovka is brought on "A memory wall" in Khatyn. On the place of death of innocent people - a monument, in the small museum - numerous documents confirmations.

But troubles of the population of these places did not end on September 23 with horror. After punishment over Borisovki's inhabitants chasteners went on the farm, surrounding it. However the people who learned about events in the village hastily left the dwellings and hid in the neighboring woods. Invaders went on other way: formed special teams which part traitors from local were. Combing the woods, they found farmers and right there shot. As a result in the territory relating to Borisovka there are six more graves.

It is necessary to tell about two of them and destiny of the related person separately. On October 14 same 1942 Ippolit Pashkovich went to Divin to find housing for the family. On the road met the acquaintance back politsy which with a smile told: "Go, go. On your yard we already brought order". Heart of the man clenched from a presentiment of big trouble. It appeared – not in vain. Having come to the farm, saw that the house is plundered, there are no wife and children. Went to look for. Paid attention to a hole in which water was red color. The terrible guess pierced all its being. Having called to the aid one of the escaped inhabitants, Ippolit Pashkovich got into a hole and began to take dead bodies from there. Nearby in other hole there was all family of the neighbor of seven people among whom there were three absolutely small children...

Ippolit buried the in the yard, in 50 meters from the house. Omelyanchukov - is slightly farther, at distance of 100 meters. To Ippolit Pashkovich the destiny defined long life, almost till 90 years. And all this time he lived on the farm. One. Though this word not absolutely approaches this case. In his soul and memory these years near it were the dearest people: wife, sons, daughter. And, probably, in this long life happened more than once a moment when they were presented to it live, the adults who established own families. And having returned to reality, it went to a grave with a modest cross and in million time of strutters to itself(himself) and someone invisible the same questions:

- Why? For what?
