translation:
Here is a photo
where one can see my father Ismail Raki and Mustafa Sofi, both founders of
the Turkish Communist Party. I should say that when at sixteen I
decided to go to the front I told my mother. She didn't have any
objections and when we started to prepare our luggage she would help me
decide on what to take, because then I didn't know that they would have
given me the uniform or the helmet, anyway, she would help me with the
luggage to go to the front. It was a small heroic act, a patriotic
movement; nobody cried, nobody suffered for the little boys or girls of
fifteen, sixteen years of age that would depart for such a harsh war. |
