Mrs. Ray. Yeah; lots of Russians and they send us to Germany in camp, in concentration camp, labor camp, I guess, more.
Mr. Liebeler. How long were you in Germany?
Mrs. Ray. I been there until I come to America, 1946.
Mr. Liebeler. How did it come about that you came to the United States; what were the circumstances of your coming here?
Mrs. Ray. Well, I met my husband was town of Wiesbaden being liberated by Americans and that's the first time we ever saw American people and then they taken us out and tell us to wait until they able to send us to Russia. At this time we been working for Americans, soldiers, something in kitchen or different something, just for food until we be able to go back to Russia and I met my husband and when I met him, well, I lost all contact with home and been told there's nobody at home, no place to go and my husband tell me that I can marry American man and I said, "No, I cannot marry American man because Russia will not permit me to marry" and we did have lots of difficulty to get marry and my husband went to Paris, France, to have permission that they let us marry but they not let him see nobody, just asking where I am. I have to hide at this time because Russia picking up and sending all back to Russia, and my husband find me room in Germany where I have to stay until we get married. Well, they—Russians don't give me permission for me to get marry and later on I have to go up and became as a displaced person and in 1945, there, U.S. Government said could marry to displaced person and I marry my husband in May 1945. Yeah, I guess 1945 or 1946—let me see, yeah, in 1945 because—or 1946. I guess. I'm sorry.
Mr. Liebeler. You were both in Germany at the time?
Mrs. Ray. Yes; my husband and I used to travel when war still going on, you know, they move and I move with him; that will be something come. We go to Frankfurt; I went with him to Frankfurt. If he have to move I go with him. Three Russian girls, us, together, and I did in 1946. I guess. I marry. I forget now when, I am very sorry.
Mr. Liebeler. That's all right; that's not important.
Mrs. Ray. War ended in 1945 and year later I married; that's in 1946, I'm sorry.
Mr. Liebeler. And then you came to the United States with your husband, is that correct?
