Local residents say that in a common room of 90 square meters. 138 people lived there. They went to the toilet in buckets and slept standing up. Elderly people lived in cellars for 13 people. The granddaughter of one of the villagers, who was born a month before the war, was dying in the basement. Fortunately, the girl was saved.

But there were those who did not survive. People were dying, but the occupiers did not allow their bodies to be taken out. Marks of the dead remained on the walls.
