Slop.

Nadezhda Gavrilovna Belezekova (she was then four years old) recalled how they "crawled under the fence, from which one could reach the bridge over the Oredezh with one's hand." On the other side of the shore, adults lived and worked. The dogs that were assigned to guard the camp did not bark and did not give out children, as they knew each prisoner well. Already after the war, N.G. Belezekova learned that “a woman who lived in the same barracks with her mother regularly “knocked” on the fugitives”, and that thanks to her “efforts”, Nadezhda once almost died in the punishment cell.

Children were punished in a variety of ways: they were beaten with a whip, deprived of lunch, placed in a punishment cell - a cold and damp basement of an old stone building. From more healthy children, the Nazis periodically took blood for their wounded soldiers and officers. As a rule, these children did not survive later ... Although, fortunately, this fate has passed for many. According to some prisoners, the children were repeatedly taken somewhere, after which they disappeared.

In the evenings, an ambulance came to the camp, ostensibly for “disinfection”. Former prisoner Alexander Roslov recalled : “In Vyritsa, I sat in a bunker (punishment cell) more than once, when I said the wrong thing, ran the wrong way. I cannot say that they took blood in the camp. But my sister Lena Roslova died there, in the infirmary. She said: “Sasha, take me out of here. I don't even have blood anymore, but they take everything. She was gone the next day."
