Memoirs by Kazimierz Młyńczak "Biography of Mine"

Over the Amu-Daria river I encountered a situation where small children, crying and covered in rags, were trying to wake their mother up, she had gone to sleep forever, she was carefree and at peace and with a smile on her emaciated face, she left her three children behind. There were more similar cases to the one I encountered. Many mothers died, while hungry and cold children were left on the Faraba field without anyone to look after them. I am incapable of describing this horrific picture that I saw on the Faraba field – it is hard to describe and difficult to believe.
