![This page of Beifeld's narrative text dated April 1943 describes the treatment of Jewish Labor Servicemen by antisemitic Hungarian soldiers during the final weeks of their stay in the Soviet Union: "At dawn on April 29 [1943], about 109 persons from former Company 109 were escorted to the nearby village of Korocha. There were seven or eight hundred of us here, crowded into a shabby barn with no water, food, or heating. ... As soon as our two wagons arrived packed with entirely broken people, suffering from typhoid fever, the guards started to beat them, yelling that stinking Jewish malingerers, how dare they torture the poor horses! ... They took almost everything we still had left, and chased us up to the already crowded, lice-infested barn…The treatment and the food were so horrible, however, that typhoid fever, dysentery, and the brutality of the guards killed our comrades one after another."
