He recalls speaking Yiddish at home; attending Belorussian school; cordial relations with non-Jews; his oldest brother's military service; his sister's birth in 1940; German invasion in June 1941; fleeing to Kolodishchi; returning home; his father's enlistment in the Soviet army; ghettoization; assistance from non-Jewish neighbors; mass killings; hiding in bunkers; his oldest brother using false documents to obtain weapons; learning his father had been killed; a mass killing on November 7, 1941; escaping with his brothers; joining partisans with his oldest brother (his middle brother joined a Jewish unit); many battles including ambushing a German garrison in Shatsk in 1942, for which he received a medal; becoming a unit commander; German blockades; learning his middle brother was killed in 1943; moving from Karelichy to the Bialowieza and Ruzhanʹska forests and Białystok; hostilities with Polish and Ukrainian partisans; joining the Soviet military; and his oldest brother's combat death in January 1945.

He shows photographs.
