After Uzhakov sent soldiers to shout everywhere, news soon came that more than thirty skinny Jews had been rescued from an attic in a neighborhood not far away. They hid in the attic the day after the city fell and have been there for two full years.
Sokov was shocked when he heard the news. He had been in the city several times and knew the structure of the houses here. The ceiling of an attic was 20 square meters, and more than 30 Jews had to be hidden. On average, each person occupied less than one square meter of area, and once they were there, It's been two years, and I don't know how they survived until now.
"Comrade Lieutenant Colonel," just as Sokov was sighing, Lunev took the microphone in his hand and talked to Uzakov: "I want to ask who provided food and daily necessities to these Jews. Necessities?”
Lunev's words reminded Sokov that no matter what, there were more than thirty people hiding in the attic. Even if they saved more, their monthly food consumption would be a large amount. If the people who provide them with food do not have sufficient financial strength, they will not be able to meet their needs.
Gorokhov on the side whispered to Managarov: "Comrade Commander, General Lunev's question is on point. Even if each Jew only needs 300 grams of bread per day, more than thirty people We only need ten kilograms of bread. If ordinary people buy ten kilograms of bread every day, it won’t be long before the Gestapo comes to visit us.”
When Sokov heard what Gorokhov said, he tapped his fingers lightly on the table and thought to himself: If ten kilograms of bread are needed a day, then three hundred kilograms of bread are needed a month. The fact that the family who protected them could not let the Germans discover the Jews they were hiding for up to two years proved that this family had some backing and certain financial strength.
After Uzakov heard Lunev's question, he covered the microphone with his hand and turned to ask the officer who reported the situation to him: "Comrade Lieutenant, what does the family who protects the Jews do?"
The officer quickly replied: "That's a bakery, and the owner of the bakery is the one who provides them with food."
Uzhakov quickly released his hand covering the microphone and answered Lunev's question: "Comrade Military Commissar, my subordinates said that the place where the Jews were hiding was a bakery, and the place that provided them with food was a bakery. boss."
After listening to Uzakov's report, everyone felt that this answer was natural. The bread in the bakery is all produced and sold in-house. If the Germans don't check how much bread they bake every day, they won't know at all. And they could take advantage of this and give the bread they baked to the Jews hiding in the attic.
And Sokov was thinking that no matter what the purpose of the bakery owner was in taking in these Jews, it was precisely because of his kindness that these Jews who might have been in the gas chambers survived. If they repay the bakery owner, it is their own business, and they should also express their gratitude to such a boss.
Thinking of this, he looked up at Lunev who was still talking to Uzhakov and said to him: "Comrade Military Commissar, ask Lieutenant Colonel Uzhakov, the owner of the bakery, where he is now. Where?"
Luniev nodded, and then said into the microphone: "Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, the commander asked, where is the owner of that bakery now?"
Uzakov didn't know the answer, so he could only ask the officer who reported the work again: "Do you know where the owner of the bakery is now?"
"I'm sorry, Comrade Chief of Staff." The officer didn't know much about the bakery owner's situation, so he could only say apologetically: "With your permission, I can immediately arrange for manpower to investigate."
"Comrade Military Commissar," Uzakov said apologetically after sending away the officers: "The officer who reported to me does not know where the bakery owner is now. But don't worry, I have ordered him to go Just ask around, I believe it won’t take long for you to get the answer you want.”
After Luniev put down the phone, he curiously asked Sokov: "Comrade Commander, why are you asking about the owner of the bakery? Do you know him?"
Not only Runev was curious about this matter, but Managarov and Gorokhov also wanted to know the answer. Sokov glanced at a few people, and then said leisurely: "This bakery owner risked his life to take in more than thirty Jews and hid them for two years. We should treat such kind people Give him the necessary rewards."
"I wonder what you plan to reward him with?"
"Comrade Military Commissar," Sokov replied: "Didn't we implement a rationing system in the city of Kremenchug starting today? In order to meet the needs of the residents of the city, a large amount of bread needs to be produced. I think You can leave part of the processing work to this kind boss. What do you think?"
"I agree." Luniev considered that if the rationing system was to be carried out for a long time, there must be several reliable bakeries to provide residents with daily necessary food, so he agreed with Sokov: "I can meet Leave it to him to complete the food ration quota for the block where the private room is located." After Uzhakov sent soldiers to shout everywhere, news soon came that in a block not far away, people were rescued from an attic. More than thirty scrawny Jews. They hid in the attic the day after the city fell and have been there for two full years.
Sokov was shocked when he heard the news. He had been in the city several times and knew the structure of the houses here. The ceiling of an attic was 20 square meters, and more than 30 Jews had to be hidden.
