-My great-grandfather Ivan Andreyevich Vasilevich was born on the 9th of October 1924 in the village of Volotye in Slutsk district. He was the eldest child in his family and had to help his parents about the house.

 

When the fascists attacked our country, my great-grandfather Ivan was 17 years old. At that time partisan detachments began forming in the woods of Belarus. One of them was located near the village, and my great-grandfather brought there food and clothes collected by the villagers and fulfilled some tasks, getting information for the partisans. In 1942 the fascists captured young boys and girls in the village and sent them to Germany to work on the plant. In 1945 the Soviet army liberated them and till 1947 my great-grandfather served in the army. Now he is 86. Every weekend we visit him in his village. I want him to be healthy and live with us for many years.
