  My grandmother Dominyka Kapacinskiene told me this story.
  In 1944-1945 when she was 25 years old, she wasn't married and lived with
  her parents, brother and sister. When the war began, the front came nearer
  to their place and they bhad to leave to another place.
  When the front went away they came back again. At that time Russian soldiers
  needed help and they looked for young people who can help them in the kitchen
  or to do something else. Sometimes Russian soldiers came to my grandmother's
  family.
  One day my grandmother's mother saw a russian soldier with a gun. She told
  my grandmother and her sister to hide in the attie and to put old clothes
  on themselves that the soldier could't find the daughters. My granndmother
  and her sister were very much scared. They had to be extremly silent for
  about an hour. Then their mother came and said that there is no danger any
  more: the soldier went away. But my grandmother was still very much scared,
  so she didn't go out of the house all day long.
  She has been living in the same place ever since.
