IA' a, recent issue of the Globe

the following story, in part, of
their suffering and fear, and the
decision to forsake their , home-
., The time of terror!began in
earnest before, the Russians came

cher sons ' 6nerich, 14, and Adal-
ibert, 12, in the apartment.'
Daily her. husband went out
to attend his patients but he went
in ski trousers and •ski boots. "If
lie had been __deported : by the
Russians, then. at least he would
have warm clothes" Mrs. • Fejer
_said. The fear of . deportatiori :was
continuous,' for grownups' and
children alike..
During the revolution, ' •they
were in . the centre of the fight
Mg: For . seven . days they 'lived
in the .cellar. of their, . 'apartment
building, .sharing- the cramped'
quarters 'with 12 people,', 21 of
them ,children, They . were' with-
out electricity; , without . heat,
:without food:.'Occasionally new
comers •made. 'their way, to the.
•cellar in the' dark and always
burdened with *wounded..
The doctor had brought al:1 the
supplies :•he ' c`o'uld muster from
bis . .surgery -above. He did the
best he cauld 'for the wounded
''But• «e ha~d nothing, no hand -
