Children of war Dedicated to all children of the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945.

The children played and did not suspect that soon there would be only one word on their lips - war.

From the memoirs of Valentina Ivanovna Potaraiko: “I was 5-6 years old. We were evacuated from besieged Leningrad to the Perm region. They were driving through Ladoga, where we came under bombing...” “... A strong wind was blowing, sawdust covered her wounds, my mother moaned, and I cleaned her wounds and asked: “Mom, don’t die!” But she died. I was left alone." Valentina Ivanovna recalls: « When our train was bombed a second time, we fell into the hands of the Germans. The Nazis lined up children separately and adults separately. No one cried out of horror; they looked at everything with glassy eyes. We clearly learned the lesson: if you cry, they will shoot you. So, before our eyes, they killed a little girl who was screaming non-stop.”

Fascist monsters shot at children for fun, to practice their accuracy.

Many children fought against fascism with arms in hand, becoming sons and daughters of regiments. Nikolai Panteleevich Kryzhkov recalls: “I wandered through the steppes during the winter, worked on the railroad, and so I got to Stalingrad... In the fall of 1942, soldiers of the 1095th Artillery Regiment sheltered me, fed me, washed me, and warmed me.” Nikolai Panteleevich was awarded the Order of the Patriotic War, 2nd degree, medals “For Military Merit”, “For the Capture of Koenigsberg”, and the commander’s gratitude for the capture of Sevastopol. The sons of the regiments - children of the war years - fought against the German occupiers on an equal basis with adults. Marshal Bagramyan recalled that the courage, bravery of the teenagers, and their ingenuity in carrying out tasks amazed even old and experienced soldiers. Childhood was consumed by war, youth by post-war devastation and hunger. Valentina Ivanovna tells: - Two years - 1946-1947. I, an orphanage girl, didn’t know the taste of bread. The norm was: breakfast and dinner - 100 grams of bread, lunch - 200. But even these crumbs were always taken away by the stronger guys. Children from the orphanage stood in stores for hours and waited for the seller to give them a handful of bread crumbs that were left after slicing.”

Children of war - and it blows cold, Children of war - and it smells of hunger, Children of war - and their hair stands on end: There are gray hairs on children's bangs.

In Albert Likhanov’s story “The Last Cold”, the theme of deprivation and hunger, from which people lose their humanity, is horribly and eloquently described. It was these children who restored the destroyed economy during the war, at the age of 12 standing at machines in factories and factories, working on construction sites. Children's labor in the rear Guys worked for days in factories, standing at machines instead of brothers and fathers who had gone to the front: they made fuses for mines, fuses for hand grenades, smoke bombs, colored flares, and assembled gas masks. They worked in agriculture, growing vegetables for hospitals. The pioneers sewed underwear and tunics for the army, and knitted warm clothes for the front: mittens, socks, scarves. The guys helped the wounded in hospitals, wrote letters to their relatives under their dictation, staged plays, organized concerts, bringing a smile to war-weary adult men. According to well-known statistics, the Great Patriotic War claimed about 27 million lives of citizens of the Soviet Union. Of these, about 10 million are soldiers, the rest are old people, women, and children. But statistics are silent about how many children died during the Great Patriotic War, how many were injured and crippled. During the Great Patriotic War, hundreds of thousands of boys and girls went to military registration and enlistment offices, gained a year or two more, and went off to defend their Motherland; many died for it.

Awarded the medal "For Military Merit". Pioneer heroes Zina Portnova During the war, Zina helped the underground. While working in a canteen for German officers, at the direction of the underground, she poisoned the food. She distributed leaflets among the population and conducted reconnaissance on instructions from the partisan detachment. In December 1943, the Germans arrested Zina on a tip from a traitor. During one of the interrogations, she grabbed a pistol from the table and shot three Nazis, tried to escape, but was captured. The Nazis brutally tortured the young underground worker and shot her in a prison in Polotsk. Zina Portnova was awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union. Pioneer heroes Olya Demesh 16-year-old Olya Demesh with her younger sister Lida at the Orsha station in Belarus, on instructions from the partisans, blew up fuel tanks. The Nazis promised land, a cow and 10 thousand marks for the head of the young partisan Olya Demesh. Her photographs were sent to all patrol services, police officers and secret agents.

The Germans managed to capture Olya’s mother and sister and shot them; but Olya remained elusive. She destroyed 20 German soldiers and officers, derailed 7 enemy trains, conducted reconnaissance, participated in the “rail war”, and in the destruction of German punitive units.

Pioneer heroes Volodya Dubinin 14-year-old Crimean Volodya Dubinin was the commander of a group of young scouts in the Starokarantinsky quarries in Kerch. A partisan detachment held the defense here for two months. Volodya and his comrades obtained information about the location, number and plans of the German troops. Volodya managed to get to the surface through very narrow holes and slip past enemy posts unnoticed. Having an excellent understanding of the layout of underground galleries, Volodya Dubinin volunteered to help the Red Army sappers in clearing the Starokarantinsky quarries. While neutralizing the territories, the sapper and Volodya died from a mine explosion. Lev Kassil wrote a book about the exploits of Volodya Dubinin - “Street of the Youngest Son”, on which a film of the same name was made. Children - prisoners of concentration camps More than 5 million children became prisoners in concentration camps, ghettos and other places of forced detention scattered throughout occupied Europe. They bore their cross - innocent of anything, deprived of the most joyful time - childhood. Overwork and illness, cold and hunger were the companions of children. They were mocked, they were subjected to medical experiments, their blood was pumped out to the last drop for the needs of the German army, and poisons were tested. Only one in ten survived. Drawings of children - prisoners of concentration camps

Children - prisoners of concentration camps “...Before the war, I lived in Ukraine. Two weeks after the start of the war there were already Germans in our city. Jews were sent to a concentration camp in the Vinnytsia region. ...The camp area was surrounded by wires carrying current. There were 70-80 people in each barracks. The only furnishings are semblances of beds knocked together from boards and straw (instead of pillows and sheets). ...We, four girls, decided to run away, but only the two of us managed to escape. We crawled for 6 days. They ate the leaves with water. The days were counted on fingers. We came across partisans..."

Children of war also live in our city. Listen to the story of Anna Mikhailovna Frenkel:

Monuments to children of war Monuments to children of war have been erected all over the world. In Voskresensk, on June 22, 2011, a monument to minor prisoners of fascism was also unveiled. In the center of the composition made of black granite is the figure of a child who stepped out of the dungeons of a fascist concentration camp. The memorial was created according to a sketch by artist Mikhail Shirokov. There are words carved on the monument that express all the bitterness and tears of those years:

We are all children of the past war With a difficult, bitter fate. And how many are there in this world who never came home? We remember the bunks, we remember the lashes, And at the stoves the death howl. We are children of fascist camps and our journey home was long.

Monuments to children of war In the miners' village of Lidice, which is 20 kilometers from Prague, a memorial was created to immortalize the children who were gassed by the Nazis in concentration camps in response to the political murder of their high-ranking official. Monuments to children of war To remember...

Our country has lived in peace for many years. For most of you, war is what you see on TV and computer screens. You play it, but for some children, war today is not a game, but a harsh reality...

And the young hearts did not waver for a moment! Their matured childhood was filled with such trials that, even if a very talented writer had invented them, it would have been difficult to believe. But it was. It happened in the history of our great country, it happened in the destinies of its little children - ordinary boys and girls.

Lenya Golikov... When his native village was captured by the enemy, the boy went to the partisans. More than once he went on reconnaissance missions and brought important information to the partisan detachment. And enemy trains and cars flew downhill, bridges collapsed, enemy warehouses burned... There were many more battles in his short life! And the young hero, who fought shoulder to shoulder with adults, never flinched. He died near the village of Ostraya Luka in the winter of 1943, when the enemy was especially fierce, feeling that the earth was burning under his feet, that there would be no mercy for him... On April 2, 1944, a decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR was published on assigning Lena to the pioneer partisan Golikov the title of Hero of the Soviet Union.


Marat Kazei...War fell on Belarusian soil. In the fall, Marat no longer had to go to school in the fifth grade. Anna Aleksandrovna Kazei was captured for her connection with the partisans, and Marat soon learned that his mother had been hanged in Minsk. Together with his sister, Komsomol member Ada, the pioneer Marat Kazei went to join the partisans in the Stankovsky forest. Marat died in battle. He fought to the last bullet, and when he had only one grenade left, he let his enemies get closer and blew them up... and himself. For his courage and bravery, pioneer Marat Kazei was awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union. A monument to the young hero was erected in the city of Minsk.


Zina Portnova...It was December 1943. Zina was returning from a mission. In the village of Mostishche she was betrayed by a traitor. The Nazis captured the young partisan and tortured her. The answer to the enemy was Zina’s silence, her contempt and hatred, her determination to fight to the end. During one of the interrogations, choosing the moment, Zina grabbed a pistol from the table and fired at point-blank range at the Gestapo man. The officer who ran in to hear the shot was also killed on the spot. Zina tried to escape, but the Nazis overtook her... The brave young pioneer was brutally tortured, but until the last minute she remained persistent, courageous, and unbending. And the Motherland posthumously celebrated her feat with its highest title - the title of Hero of the Soviet Union.

He was a liaison; he often went to Kletnya, delivering valuable information; After waiting until dark, he posted leaflets. Volodya, together with his senior comrades, derailed eight echelons.

Volodya Kaznacheev was awarded the Order of Lenin and the medal "Partisan of the Patriotic War" 1st degree.


Galya Komleva... Together with Komsomol member Tasya Yakovleva, Galya wrote leaflets and scattered them around the village at night. The Nazis tracked down and captured the young underground fighters. They kept me in the Gestapo for two months.

The Decree on awarding Larisa Mikheenko the Order of the Patriotic War, 1st degree, contains the bitter word: “Posthumously.”


Lucy Gerasimenko... But she was silent. She was silent even when the Gestapo man, beating her with a whip, pulled out her hair and trampled his feet.... She entered the cell, barely moving her legs, but with her head held high, and smiling faintly. Everyone saw that this smile was not easy for her. Tatyana Danilovna and Lyusya were summoned for interrogation almost every day and almost every time they were terribly beaten. And after one interrogation, Lucy was brought into the cell almost unconscious. They brought it in and threw it on the floor. The women carefully laid her on the bunk. Everything was burning inside. I was very thirsty. I really wanted to eat. At least a small piece of bread. Very small. Those arrested were given almost no food a day, only about ten spoons of some kind of gruel...


Nadya Bogdanova She was executed twice by the Nazis, and for many years her military friends considered Nadya dead. They even erected a monument to her. It’s hard to believe, but when she became a scout in the partisan detachment of “Uncle Vanya” Dyachkov, she was not yet ten years old. The first time she was captured was when, together with Vanya Zvontsov, she hung out a red flag in enemy-occupied Vitebsk on November 7, 1941. They beat her with ramrods, tortured her, and when they brought her to the ditch to shoot her, she no longer had any strength left - she fell into the ditch, momentarily outstripping the bullet. Vanya died, and the partisans found Nadya alive in a ditch... She was captured for the second time at the end of 1943. And again torture: they poured ice water on her in the cold, burned a five-pointed star on her back. Considering the scout dead, the Nazis abandoned her when the partisans attacked Karasevo. Local residents came out paralyzed and almost blind. After the war in Odessa, Academician V.P. Filatov restored Nadya’s sight.

Yuta Bondarovskaya Wherever the blue-eyed girl Yuta went, her red tie was invariably with her... Yuta began to help the partisans. At first she was a messenger, then a scout. Dressed as a beggar boy, she collected information from the villages: where the fascist headquarters were, how they were guarded, how many machine guns there were. In one of the battles - near the Estonian farm of Rostov - Yuta Bondarovskaya, the little heroine of the great war, a pioneer who did not part with her red tie, died a heroic death.

War, it is war. It ended a long time ago, Our wounds healed. The road that led to peace is not forgotten by veterans. The front and the rear are inseparable. Everyone endured the battle steadfastly, After all, the front in those years passed through the heart of everyone in Russia. And let the old and the young be proud, That we won that war, So that the long-awaited peace may come, EVERYONE WILL BE PART OF THE VICTORY!


NOTE AND LETTER OF PARTIZAN V. TO PISTON'S MOTHER November 2930, 1941 Tomorrow I will die, mother. You lived 50 years, and I only 24. I want to live. After all, I did so little! I want to live to defeat the hated fascists. They mocked me, but I didn't say anything. I know: my partisan friends will avenge my death. They will destroy the invaders. Don't cry, mom. I die knowing that I gave everything to victory. It's not scary to die for the people. Tell the girls: let them go be partisans and boldly defeat the invaders! Our victory is not far away! November 30, 1941


I lived in Leningrad in the winter... Yes, I won’t hide it: during those days we ate earth, glue, and belts; but after eating the stew from the belts, the stubborn master stood up to the machine to sharpen the parts of the guns necessary for the war. But he sharpened while his hand could make movements. And if he fell - at the machine, like a soldier falls in battle. (O. Berggolts) The child’s hand, losing strength from hunger, wrote unevenly and sparingly. The fragile soul, struck by unbearable suffering, was no longer capable of living emotions.
