SIEGE OF LENINGRAD: CHILD EVACUEES AND SCHOOL EMPLOYEES (#1)

Children were evacuated from Leningrad during the Nazi blockade of the city. The blockade began in June, 1941 and ended by April, 1943. According to a Russian language article, evacuation to the Molotov area (presently, the Perm region), Chernushka began during Summer, 1941. The children arrived by train, after first being transported by ship; they were often ill on arrival. They were placed in villages and settlements within the locale. According to the information from the site, http://chayk.u-education.ru/det_dom/dislocacia.html, 78 children's orphanages and 50 kindergartens accepted about 10,000 young children. A map showing the location within the Perm area of the boarding schools is available on the website. (It was first published in the "Star", a regional newspaper, in 1995).
