Along with it, on the instructions of S. I. Shmyryov's "mansion", we regularly reported No. No. in / h which were supplied at us with various materials. I made schematic city map with the indication of all German establishments and certain houses occupied by representatives of "race of misters". The episode when in our kitchen there was an unknown priest in a cassock soliciting personal meeting with me is remembered amusing. Having recalled me to the neighboring room, it with the embarrassed look lowered trousers, taking from a subsoil of kalson carefully hided pismetso Shmyryova... Guerrilla command repeatedly punished to us not to communicate with any city underground workers, fairly being afraid of possible provocation. Alas, my Taduyesh neglected preventions, having contacted diversionary group, having besides hidden it from me. It was armed with submachine gun and gave a task: to undermine the English magnetic mine a cable column opposite to mail where numerous wires lasted. The column fastened on two rails from which was only one killed by explosion. The column continued to stand on the escaped rail. There was a provoker who gave participants of group, arrested also Gorbatovsky. While the prolonged consequence lasted, I, naturally, did not have any good night: under tortures Gorbatovsky could not sustain, and then my arrest would be inevitable.

And here on the eve of new, 1944 "the prophetic dream" dreamed me that is called. I choked, having appeared in a chimney pipe. All my attempts to get out to a surface were vain: both again and again broke. Having completely become exhausted, I made the last desperate effort which was crowned with success. I will take a sip" fresh air, I felt rescued. On the same day I helped neighbors with a threshing on a manual thresher. There was clear, frosty weather, degrees under twenty. Suddenly from nowhere, there was a small cloudlet which burst in a mad blizzard. One of our toloka joked, having remembered a national popular belief: someone hung himself in any way. Really, at this particular time at Liberty Square, opposite to Suvorov St., on the gallows there were seven underground workers, among them there is Tadeush.

Not to break chronology of the narration about Gorbatovsky, I should return to some events of the end of 1942 now. Since 1940 at us the family of the Brest Jew Goldberg which was turned out from boundary Brest rented apartment. In Kobrin he got a job in maslopry. In the fall of 1941 along with all Jews the family moved in a ghetto And. When in the summer of 1942 it was taken out on Bronnuyu Gore for destruction of the population of a ghetto - In, Goldberg with a number of other Jews began to prepare secretly for himself the disguised shelter in the yard of a masloprom. Managed to finish it on the eve of totalitarian destruction getto-A in the fall of 1942. Later not how many days after these tragic events, my mother milking in the evening a cow reported that Goldberg disappears in our shed. Naturally, at once it was necessary to put it at himself "on an allowance". Settled on a mow. Our concern was caused by only that circumstance that in the evenings to it the escaped associates who were not able to speak in a whisper at all made the way, and their mutter was heard by neighbors who to steel it is transparent to hint at taking cover "sir G". Fortunately, our secret did not disperse further, and we avoided inevitable punishment. So several weeks rushed, began to exasperate cold weather. Our ward persistently refused to follow my advice and to move to guerrillas. Instead he persistently tried to find out where the ghetto still escaped. According to the authentic data received by me, apparently, that remained in next Pruzhanakh where our guest also decided to make the way. For these weeks Goldberg fairly acquired a small beard which is decided to be shaved. To such an extent shivered with nervous breakdown of his hand that for the first time in life I had to become the barber. Naturally, the set of cuts was put to a chin of my victim what he stoically reconciled to. With a heavy heart we supplied it on the road with what could whether dress up in kozhushok. Refused the offered karbovanets, having told that it is necessary more on gold which has enough. Harmful, naive Goldberg! From endured he obviously went crazy, intending to pay off with gold coins during detention Germans or politsayam. What with it was become, and remained secret. To Povidimy, Pruzhan did not reach...

Now we will be transferred to summer of 1944. The third anniversary of the beginning of a universal slaughter passed. The red Army conducted uncontrollable approach. Through Kobrin the set chernomundirny politsayev from Ukraine which included Kobrin district, and civil refugees directed on the West. They told horrors about punishments of Germans over men who tried to evade from evacuation. Taking cover looked for with dogs and on the place adjusted. It was necessary to reflect seriously.
