In April 2020, the ALZHIR museum fund was replenished with new archival materials about Augustine Kurt Wilhelmovich, who was repressed and executed in 1937.

Before his arrest, he held the position of pyrometrist in the thermal workshop of the Chelyabinsk Tractor Plant. After being released from Karlag in 1943, his wife Augustine Claudia lived with her daughter Marina in Tselinograd, who, with tears in her eyes, recalled the years spent in the camp: “I really wanted bread and butter ...”.

Among the archival materials transferred to the museum fund by Tatyana Valentinovna Grotova’s granddaughter, currently living in St. Petersburg, an arrest certificate, an arrested person’s questionnaire, an interrogation protocol, an indictment, an extract from the interrogation protocol, a conclusion, a decision to cancel the case due to the lack of corpus delicti, etc.

Tatyana Valentinovna during a research trip to the museum to St. Petersburg, shared with them that her mother would not be offered delicious Marina, she asked only for bread and butter. Until the last days of her life, for her, apart from bread and butter, there was nothing tastier.
