Time took away the senior participants of this history, erased some details from memory younger therefore we will not refer to concrete date. In one of days of war the resident of the village Lyakhchitsy Josef Nazaruk saw the very young girl who with crying ran from Hodynichi. On a question: what happened, she said:
- There is a round-up... Mother was killed... Pursue me...
The father of a large family did not deliberate:
- Run there, to my house. I will hide you.
- But I am Jew, - the red-haired girl fatefully said.
Such recognition in time when invaders shot for shelter of people of this nationality, without reflecting, did not shake determination of the goodhearted peasant to help the young stranger. She ran in the specified direction, and Iosif Ivanovich continued the way. Soon from outside Hodynich Germans appeared. On their question of whether he saw the unfamiliar girl here, Nazaruk answered that he saw, and, of course, specified the opposite side.
So in the house on the farm near Lyakhchits there was one more resident. And the house consisted of one big room, kitchen and kamor, in a present way - storerooms. How to save the unexpected lodger from others eyes among which can be and treacherous? The father and mother should have been engaged in economy therefore function of protection of secret was undertaken by children. Adults sewed a big sennik and, having filled him, placed in zapechek where children usually slept. For it, when approaching to the house of foreign people, right there hid Hinka - the girl so called herself. And in order that it did not give itself cough or sneezing, on a sennik Tatyana, Maria and Nadezhda amicably took seat, played, periodically coughed... For the night, for full safety, Hinka was defined in a cellar. That could breathe fresh air, changed clothes of the girl for the old woman whose protection was undertaken by elder brothers Ivan and Vasily. During especially intense periods Hinka was transported secretly to relatives to other villages.
People not only kind, but also hardworking, as well as their children and grandsons were Nazaruki Sr. Held cattle, from each plot of land tried to reap a good harvest, had many bees whose honey was demanded and then. And still the head of the family was famous for the ability to carry. Hinka did not become a parasite. She knew how to cook well, to sew. Nadezhda Iosifovna with whom we also carried on conversation on this history still remembers a print dress with an embroidery on a breast which was sewed it by the girl. And when Iosif Ivanovich decided to be engaged, in addition, in tailoring of short fur coats, it too was connected at once to this business.
Of course, villagers knew or guessed that at Nazarukov someone lives. The relation to it was the most different. If Daniil Kulik brought products, then someone accused the father of family of the help to Germans. When on an evil slander guerrillas came for it, the shelter left Hinka and told:
- The German informer will not hide the Jew.
The girl believed that she will wait for exile of invaders, will escape. After liberation of Kobrin district Hinka returned to the house on Sovetskaya St. That, where now "an urgent photo". Nadezhda Iosifovna was in it more than once, at the request of Hinki looked for her little little son Mischa. And then Hinka disappeared, without having told anything to anybody. Responded in several years, by means of the letter on which there was a return address: Tel Aviv, Aminadab Street, house 16/1. The letter was on Jewish so contents it was learned only after the translation by experts on language. In it it was reported that lives well, married Yakov Weizman who once had a steam mill in Divin. Then there were letters in Russian. All personally, with words of gratitude for rescue, philanthrophy, kindness, with photos of children (in Israel Hinka gave birth to the daughter Riva who became a teacher subsequently, and Mikhail - the seaman). And still there were parcels with clothes which in that a time, rather poor at us, with pleasure were worn by young representatives of a family. In one letter there was a request that from the Village Council sent the certificate that it was hidden from enemies, rescued from death. For some reason it was necessary to it...
Correspondence broke in the late seventies. Sharply and it is unclear... Most likely, the policy again impudently interfered with life of the population of both countries...
Today Nazaruki could tell Hinke and her children a lot of new, good. And in soul do not lose hope for it.
