Eyewitnesses’ testimony

Ljudmila Zavorotnaja
I saw it firsthand.
Today I received the next issue of "Jewish News." I have read it and could not sleep, because I was excited about the article “The monument for children, who where shot at Babyn Yar”. Children were not only killed. I remember, how they were herded together - a lot of little and elder children, who were covered with a tarpaulin and poisoned with something in a few minutes!!!

My parents were ordinary people, father worked on the squashed-presscake station (zhomootkormochnom). There were seven children in our family: three brothers and four sisters. I was the fourth and was born in 1912. I came to Kyiv in 1933, I studied on the workers' faculty and soon got married. We lived in a 13-meter room on the Chkalova street, 25. On the first day of the war I went to my mother, who lived on Tverskaja street. There was also my sister with her deaf child. The Nazis entered the city.

I was born in Kyiv in 1928. My fullname was Lev Borisovich Pinzoveckij. I studied at school #18. My father, Boris Samojlovich Pinzoveckij, worked as a head of department in the post office; mother, Genja Samojlovna Libova , kept the house and looked after nine children. We were not rich, but we were satisfied and clothed. That was our address: Podol, the Nizhnij Val street, 23.
