Olha Lekhkodukh writes about her father-in-law. His was a family of blacksmiths and woodworkers. They also owned a thresher. He was arbitrarily dekurkulized, sentenced and imprisoned as "enemy of the people" and survived the prison. For the rest of his life he experienced fear of authorities. He hoped that one day he would be able to tell his story but he died before such time came.
Olha was born in 1937 and did not witness the Famine. Her mother worked at a diner in "Barsuchyna" collective farm. People allegedly did not die in that collective farm but Olha's mother witnessed people drinking liquid food waster from the waste bucket and dying (sic). - Notes
