Oleksandra speaks slowly and thoughtfully, she sometimes weighs her words. She speaks in Chmelnyzkyj's Museum of Resistance about the graduates of 1941, about the night the war started, when they wanted to celebrate graduation and became partisans: 17-year-olds, like Maria Trembowezka, active and persecuted, tortured and shot, in the end, for her revolt against occupation, war, and wrong. They freed starving prisoners of war at “Stalag 355”, where 60.000 lost their lives, blew up railway tracks, and sabotaged. They wanted to be free, be allowed to go to the cinema or fishing. Both was forbidden by threat of being shot.

Oleksandra speaks slowly, she also speaks about her parents.
