“On 16 Feb 1917 I was born the son of the farmer Raffael Berger and his wife Monika Fleck in Steinfeld, Bratskoje County, territory Woznesensk, Ukraine.
At 6 years of age I attended school for the first time. Since there were no German schools in the Soviet state at that time, we were taught at home. The German farmers paid for the teachers. Later, German schools were opened and in 1932 Father let me go to Landau, Odessa to school. Later that year, the great famine broke out. Since it affected my parents hard, my father had to take me back, and I had to go to work on the Collective Farm.
On 18 Sep 1932 I was directed to accompany a grain truck from the Collective Farm. During a trip to the collection site, the truck driver drove under a passing train. I was severely injured and my right leg had to be amputated. After my convalescence, the Collective board sent me for a six-month course to learn to be a bookkeeper for the Collective. When I finished this course, I worked as an assistant clerk in the office until 1934. In the same year they established a German school in our village, which I attended until 1936. Since I had no desire to go back to the Collective Farm, I moved to Arkhangelsk where I worked for 11 months as a warehouse manager for a construction company.
In 1937 I attended a training course in Arkhangelsk as a teacher of German in Russian schools. However as my father was arrested by the GPU shortly afterwards, followed by the arrest of my brother a bit later, I was thrown out of the course and returned home again.
From 1938 to 1939, I worked as a group leader at a tractor brigade in the fields.
From 1 Jan 1940 to Nov 1 1941, I worked as a warehouse manager at the Collective Farm.
From 10 Jan 1941 to 1 Nov 1943 I was an interpreter for the farmers in the district Blagodatnoje, territory Perwomaisk with the German civil administration. On November 2, I was resettled in Greater Germany with my family and my mother, by the order of the Reichs Commissioner for the Ukraine.
Since 22 Nov 1943 I have been working at the German National Railroad railway depot Liegnitz.”
