Mr. De Mohrenschildt. That is right. In this particular case I don't remember their names. They were a couple of Jewish doctors who advised my father to eat as little as possible, any way to appear very sick, and finally—they themselves were his doctors. They finally made the position with the Soviet Government that he was going to die, he was not going to survive the trip to Siberia, because he was going to be sent directly to Siberia, with the family, with all of us. And that he should be released to stay home, and just appear once—a couple of times a week to show he is there, until his health condition improved, and he was able to be sent to Siberia.
And they did that, surprisingly, and they released him. And that is where he made his preparations for escape. And the same people, helped him to get some transportation, a hay wagon, and we crossed the border, in a very long and tedious way. But we crossed the border of Poland.
Mr. Jenner. You crossed the border into Poland, and he settled where?
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. In a town called Wilno.
Mr. Jenner. That was yourself, your mother, and your father?
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. My father. But my mother almost immediately died from typhoid fever which she contracted during this escape. We all had this typhoid fever.
Mr. Jenner. But she succumbed to it?
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. That is right.
Mr. Jenner. And this was what year?
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. 1922.
