Leningrad siege survivor: We need to remember the horrors of the war Elizaveta Khomchenko MOGILEV, 5 May (BelTA) - We need to remember the horrors of the war and make sure they never happen again, Leningrad siege survivor, resident of Mogilev Elizaveta Khomchenko said as he talked to a BelTA correspondent. The woman celebrated her 90th birthday on 5 May. "It is important for us to remember the horrors of the Great Patriotic War. It was a terrible time of horror, hunger and fear. Though we were kids, we remember everything. We should tell the descendants about what happened so that today's generations can compare that time and the present and understand the horror of war. Comparing is needed to make sure similar events should never happen,” Elizaveta Khomchenko said. “We saw people die. We knew hunger. We were not living. We were surviving. We have lived to this day to see a happy life under a peaceful sky. We have no right to forget for the sake of those who did not return from the battlefields, who forever remained in the trenches and under the rubble of houses destroyed by fascist bombs.”
