It was one of the most shocking things that one can see, what was on the way we passed a place,
I do not know how exactly to how to pronounce it, I think it was Kielce or something like that.
And they and the the cattle wagon was stopped and
was probably refueling or whatever, I do not know why he stopped. And suddenly we heard screams and
there was people screaming, 'Close the wagon! Close the wagon! Close the wagon! They come to kill us.'
Most of those
that were repatriated were Jewish people that left, and that was a group of Poles who made the pogrom
of the remaining Jews in Kielce, and they knew that there were rehabilitation of people coming
and they went out with axe, axe, can you say that in English?
[Interviewer] Hatchets. [Rachel] That's what you split wood how do you... [Interivewer] Axes, hatchets.
[Rachel] Axes, you call it yeah? You know when I'm excited I can't speak English. I'm sorry.
And they wanted to open and kill the people, so we closed the
very quickly or closed wagons and maybe two hours later the the wagon [inaudible], but that
fear, that fear that we are coming into Poland which is
that the pogrom can still happen after if the war is the end was a terrible shock for us.
