Livernois Babi Yar Terror Revealed in Kuznetzov's Books and in Letter From One of Survivors younger one ran away from captivity and made his way home. At the gate he was shot. My fa- ther, mother and sister were shot in Babi Yar—I saw that myself. I ran away from Yar twice, ran away from the Gestapovites twice, ran away from the gendarmerie, ran after having been in prison for 28 days. I spent the nights among the ruins, in basements, in attics, in dust-holes—hungry, half- naked, sick, with serious wounds (not only those of the heart) caused by the blows of rifle butts, and beatings that were almost fatal . . . In spite of my terrible state I did not weep, did not groan, did not wail with the pain. How stony I was then. But now the slightest trifle upsets me and the tears come rolling down.

Expenditure on furniture and household goods was up almost fourfold. Clothing, personal effects and entertainment are up two and one-half times, but outlay on food has not even doubled, rising by 70 per cent. These figures are given in a study completed by Yaacov Parush, of the Bank of Israel. Two factors influenced the change in expenditure patterns, incomes and prices. Food ac- counted for 41 per cent of total consumption expenditure in 1953, and only 30 per cent in 1965, for two reasons. Hunger has to be satisfied whatever one's income, so greater earnings do not yield a proportionate increase in food consumption. Secondly, the price of food rose by 10 per cent less than average prices. The price of goods in general rose less than the average index figure—clothing and furniture by 30 per cent less. The cost of serv- ices, which are labor-intensive, rose more steeply. Shrinks Hemorrhoids Without Surgery Stops Itch—Relieves Pain For the first time science has found a new healing substance with the as- tonishing ability to shrink hemor- rhoids and to relieve pain — without surgery. In case after case, while gently relieving pain, actual reduc- tion (shrinkage) took place. Most amazing of all — results were so thor- ough that sufferers made astonishing statements like "Piles have ceased to be a problem!" The secret is a new healing substance (Bio-Dynee)— dis- covery of a world-famous research institute. This substance is now avail- able in suppository or ointment form eajied Pcepgration He. At all drug 'counters. The USSR Novosti Press Agency has released this photo showing Dina Pronicheva and her Kievite friends at the site where a monument is to be erected in tribute to the victims of the Nazi slaughter at Babi Yar. Since the actual revelation of the Bahl Yar massacre, the Soviet authorities, for unknown reasons, kept tourists from the spot of the horrible tragedy. Even when it had to be admitted that 200,000 people were butchered on that spot near Kiev, authorities tried to divert attention from it and com- mented that not Jews alone but Russians, Ukrainians, others, also were murdered there. It was especially when Yevgeny Yevtushenko published his poetic Babi Yar indictment in 1961 that worldwide attention was drawn to the murderous episode of the last war. Yevtushenko's poem challenged the attention of the Russian peo- ple with his opening words, "No monument stands over Babi Yar," with the emphatic concluding line, "I am a true Russian!" which is Preceded with the declaration: "The 'Internationale,' let it thunder when the last anti- Semite on earth is buried for- ever." But there has just taken place a change in attitude. The Soviet Union recently announced that a monument to the victims of fascism is to be erected at Babi Yar. And a novel, "Babi Yar," by Anatoly Kuznetsov, has been pub- lished. giving an account of the Babi Yar outrage. The novel has been published in the Soviet youth magazine. Yunost. It is now out in an English translation published by Dial Press (750 3rd, NY 17). The editor and translator for "Cur- rent Digest of the Soviet Press, Jacob Guralsky, has made the ex- cellent translation for Dial. The book contains a series of impres- sive, deeply moving and appro- priate drawings by S. Brodsky. a cause he was not Jewish the young boy who now authored the Babi Yar work escaped with his life and he is now able to relate how acts of resistance against the Nazis in Kiev brought about the retaliation—the mass murder. Naming German generals who conducted the pillage and the mur- ders, Kuznetsov's story is a com- pilation of facts that prove hair- raising even to those who already know the Babi Yar history. * Babi liar, the ravine on the outskirts of Kiev, was chosen as the execution ground for 50,000 Jews who were murdered and buried there. The Russian account is that 150,000 more—Ukrainians, Russians. Poles—were executed afterward and buried in that mass grave. Kuznetsov kept a record of what had occurred. He was spared by the Germans and some took him into their confidence and he was able to retain the facts about the brutalities, remembering the names of the leaders of the per- petrated crime and describing the collaboration of a ruthless and heartless invading army. * • A supplementary document about the Babi Yar crime has just been released to The Jewish News by Novosti Press Agency, through the Soviet Embassy in Washing- ton. It contains a letter from one of the witnesses to the Kuznetsov story, Dina Pronicheva, a Jewish woman who was miraculously saved from the Nazi butchery. Her husband, a Russian, was tortured by the Gestapo. She now lives and works in Kiev. She had written to the Russian Jewish writer, Yefim Litvin.

He was taken prisoner, but ran away and came home when I was already in hid- ing in Darnitsa, which is beyond Kiev, on the other side of the Dnieper. After the mass shooting of the Jews, the Germans went to the apartments and if they dis- covered, as in my case, that the husband was Russian, they shot the children just the same for the mother was a "Jew"—a "Jude." A policeman grabbed my son, who was only two years and three months old at the time, and took him out into the yard in order to shoot him. My husband begged the policeman not to touch the child, saying that I was to come in the evening and then they could take both of us. They agreed to leave the child there until the evening. When the police left, my husband wrapped Vovoch,ka up in paper, tied it with rope, like a package, and brought him to me in Darnitsa. For four months I hid myself and my little boy. In the fifth month the Gestpovites came after me. I managed to flee, and I asked a Russian woman, Natasha, to take my son somewhere. But the police arrested her together with my son. At the gendarmerie they checked up on the child to see if he was Jewish or not. Natasha assured them that he was a Ukrainian. They beat Natasha and Vova so teribly that Vova became dumb. Then they released them. Natasha took Vova to Kiev and placed him in a child's home, telling them she did not know whose child he was, that she had picked him up in the street. "I found him on March 13, 1944. He was called Vitali Neizvestny (Unknown—Ed.) then. He recov- ered his power of speech. Vladimir (Vova—Ed.) is now an officer in the Soviet Army. ". . . My husband. Victor Proni- chev, was arrested because they did - not find either me or our child. He was brutally tortured in the Gestapo. "When Vova was carried out into the yard to be shot, a neigh- bor grabbed my daughter, who was then four years and three months old, and hid her in a closet. The child lived there for two weeks, but then someone in- formed the police about her. It was necessary to take the child out and hide her in a shed in such a way that she would not be dis- covered. In the morning a friend of my husband's recognized Lido- chka. He took her to a children's home and there I found her when the Red Army liberated Kiev. "My Lidochka is now the mother of two children. Her husband is a scientific worker and Lidochka herself works as a radio assem- bler. "I am an actress and work with a puppet theater. I receive many letters from all over the Soviet Union, and they are all so affec- tionate, so touching that I now feel the whole world is my friend . . ." —Novosti PreSs AgericY (APN)
