•A doctor’s
wife on the boat said to Jones:
•“Exiles? The
peasants have been sent away in thousands to starve. They were exiled just because they worked hard all their
lives.
•It’s terrible how they have treated them; they have not given them anything; no bread
cards even. They
sent a lot to Tashkent, where I was,
and just left them on
the square. The exiles did not know what to do and many starved to death.”
